It would be easier to just run with the 4AGE than try to adapt the mounts and stuff around with positioning the 2T and with the same amount of work you get more power..it just costs a little more to work a GE is all, also its easier to compliance than with a 2T where you would have to get an engineering cert.

its only bad flowing compared to a twincam, for a single cam its not "too" bad, compare it to other single cams of its era from other manufacturers and youll find it wasnt that much of a dog.
Like any singlecam non crossflow head it needs some machining to improve the flow, if you spend the money you get the results.
As for being weak I would say I have to totally disagree!. If you service them regularly "as you should" then they will run well indefinately, anyone will tell you I thrash the hell out of my C engines and other than the rings failing at about the 2 year mark I havent had any problems.
I tried to blow up the C engine once I had my GE ready to go in the sprinter..I took my cousin with me so we could tow it home, in a dirt road in the middle of nowhere we thrashed it to pieces for 1 1/2 hrs and it still wouldnt die.
Being the determined bloke I am I threw it in first and dumped the clutch with the foot to the floor for over a minute at 6400rpm with the wheels spinning in the dirt in one spot...It still wouldnt die..I gave up and drove it back home after we rocked it out of the hole , the engine felt as if I had done nothing to it driving back home. It was the original engine and had done 180,000kms from brand new.
