* A more powerful & fuel efficient MDI (Super) 3200 engine, with quick starting response and lower oil consumption, as opposed to the F134 engine of the CJ3B, though the F134 was quieter. | * A more powerful & fuel efficient MDI (Super) 3200 engine, with quick starting response and lower oil consumption, as opposed to the F134 engine of the CJ3B, though the F134 was quieter. | ||
