    Unimog engine replacement options

    Hi people Has anyone seen other types of engine successfully fitted to U1700's such as Nissan , GM , Isuzu etc ? I am hoping to find a new engine for a 1990 U1700 that has a higher RPM limit to improve the current 90 kmhr top speed , better reliability and also cheaper on spares any ideas ?
