Apart from overheating issues, is there anything in particular that I need to be looking for with these engines? Apparently the one that I am looking at has recently had the injectors replaced. Is that something of a concern?

    If it is already converted and the owner has had it for a while, I would think the majority of niggly issues associated with the conversion would be sorted by now. I have a GQ manual so cant comment on the auto. Injectors could simply be age, or crappy fuel or tune related perhaps - is this a private sale or thru brunswick? Can you get a service history verified?

    Do you know if the motor was new or a s/h or BD reco engine? If a s/h engine could just be old injectors needing to be replaced.
