Re: [Amc-list] AMC V8 Diesel--Did AMC ever create one?

[greg_taylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

There's a gear head guy here in the Detroit area that swears by them and 
snags them up all the time ( along with his buddies).  He's put them into 
his 5-window Chevy trucks.  Says the real trick to longevity on the Olds 
350 Diesel is to run Victor Series GRAPHITE head gaskets and ARP Head 
studs.  Says the gaskets don't blow and the studs keep a consistent 
pressure on the gaskets (unlike the stock head bolts that stretch).  He 
said the last on ran 225, 000 miles with no problems.  He's also 
converting them over to run on veggie fuel.

I suspect that GM's biggest mistake was to release the diesel engine in 
main stream cars.  People weren't ready.  My guess is the engines were 
beter than the care they were receiving.

Local cab companies would change cylinder heads and intake manifolds 
converting the engines to gasolene when the injection system would fail, 
since the short blocks were still viable. I wonder how many injection 
pumps were ruined by pumping gasolene.
