I don't have one and I don't think I've even ever seen one in person. I'm just curious of what you're going to do with it?

Yes I was thinking the same they were a 350 bottom end, with different heads. That is why the cranks blew up!

Ya,. As far as I've ever heard the were a very poor diesel engine. I mean the one year they were in k10's 1977 they had a lower payload than any other combination and were recommended against towing right in the manuals...

If you think the 5.7 was weak, try it in the 4.3 V6 version

I remember scavenging engine piles back in the early '90s, a 'D' or 'DX' block wasn't even hard to find, like a small block Chevy, they were everywhere.
So were the 6.2s.

It is the 4.3, in a 1983 Buick (takes a) Century.
I still have the whole car, which is a very low miles unit and I believe the reason is it was one of those cars you had to "wait to drive".

One of these days I may have to get if running and see how truly worthless it is...
Unless I get really strapped for cash and off it for scrap.
Mark.

Well, it IS sitting beside a 1979 or 1980 VW Rabbit Diesel.

They are 350 Olds engines...Dad bought a brand new one in a C3500 in 1981...ran it 36 weeks, put 36K miles on it and the dealer overhauled it, another 36 weeks, 38K miles and she let go again, and they figure out then when they tried to swap the parts to a 350 Chevy engine, that it was an Olds block.
Good engines in a Delta 88, Grandpa probably ran 6 or 7 of them to 200K plus miles each, just no good in a truck.
