    I don't think you can go wrong which ever one you pick. Detroit may give you little better mileage vs little more power on N14. Also parts for Detroit 60 are little cheaper.

    CAT. Less mileage, More Power

    DD. Less power, Way better Mileage.

    n14 was always the bullet proof engine but from what ive been hearing pre-emissions Detroit far better fuel mpg.

    There is a lot of things a person can do to make more power

    Blueprint n balance all the motor port n polish the heads

    Get a real harmonic dampner an a real flywheel

    Buy better injectors install a top notch exhaust system

    I thought the whole point of a glider was to throw a CAT on steroids in it.
