Actually, I did, but decided to keep the 240 engine in the car and experiment that way...real driving conditions. I would not run any other diesel engine (300SD, generator, etc) on anything but D2. Experiments are limited to the 240.
Also, seems that it's alot of work to create a frame for the 240D engine and cooling system, etc to run a genset. Much easier to have a dedicated generator which simply mounts to a frame..although I'm still kicking the idea around, especially since I have a double detatched garage at my new house which, God help me, will enable MORE experimentation and tinkering.
