It's another Multifuel engine more commonly used in the bigger 5-ton trucks. It is based on the same engine as the LDTs in the Deuce, and is the same size, but has a different block, oil-cooled pistons, and different fuel delivery system that provides much more power. The size similarity makes it a relatively easy repower for the M35A2

That's on MY LIST of potential repowers for if/when my stock multi-fuel engine goes to MV heaven....
Although I'm curious to see if Ian does any sort of engine swap or perhaps a multi-fuel power upgrade on Extreme 4X4...
I might have to rethink my list....

LDS is what should have been in these trucks from the get go. After half a year driving the truck in its original form and then the other half as a bobber I still can't remember a time where I was lacking power.:-D

Congrats! Does the LDS add anything to the top speed? I understand that the LDTs are maxed at about 50mp. I wouldn't think so as the drivetrain and gearing would be the same, but you never know.
