IIRC Bombie originally had a Ford 4 cylinder gas engine. As in a cheap car engine. A Mercedes diesel would be a real upgrade. Check compression, without good compression a diesel will never start in winter. Even then starting in winter would be iffy.Bombi with a mercedes diesel? Although I want a bombi, dont know that much about their history. This must be a replacement engine is it, or is that stock? Would sure like to see some pics!
I let my son drive it off the trailer and through the snow into the barn the grin on his face was erily evil. This is my starter cat. I am going to go the rest of a mercedes front end to complete What you started with the Grill.
Every fuel stop was some random stranger inquiring about it and where did I get it and what not. Thanks for meeting me half way.
