Thank you for the input Rancho... given the rarity of what I'm looking for I may end up with a gas eater... thanks :-)

Wow... 100+ views (interested in the answers too?) but no replies?.... Hummmm Somebody has got to have an opinion??! :-)

I've been looking and lurking for a while now. I am swayed in the direction of converting an E-350. The low mileage diesels seem so hard to find I'm wondering if the 5.4L EFI FFV V8 model would be worth while converting.... 4x4, poptop at a minimum, probably more interior work as well (sink...
