nojvnof1 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2004 From what I've heard, the Merc engine is not the problem, but the installation of the engine onto the immensely complicated chassis is the problem. The engine has run with absolutely no problems on the dyno and has a lot of horsepower, but once it's installed into the chassis, the problems arise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
