How easy is that to do? Im toying with engine ideas right now

No chance, it has perfect studs and great oil pressure, I have a DJ conversion kit of crank, pistons and cam waiting.

My current camper, a 2.1 DJ with autobox and high top, is an absolute flyer. And my idea of going carb for easy LPG conversion is losing appeal. The digijet is so smooth I don't want to lose it.

I'm putting a fresh DJ on carb / LPG in the tin top this year so I will be able to compare.

Didnt feel much swifter than the ultra reliable DG 1900 in second camper at the time.

I didn't post it for a wind up

Personally I can't see why Speedshop don't acknoledge the smaller filter is a compromise and change their design.

has to be a maintenance free connector if you seal it up with no access, such as a wago 221 or wago 222 not a screw terminal.
