Yes the patrol may be 400 kg heavier than a Terror, but then, it put out a few more kW than the standard gu donk too and the extra torque is worth some praise...
The way that I look at at it, if the engine doesn't have the same grenade properties as the ZD and you can tune them a bit to make them better, isnt a more reliable, more powerful engine something worth considering?
If not, what other V configuration diesels are out there to use (apart from the Toyota 200 series donk?)
