Origin of power stroke engine
Heard a comment at work, today, that the powerstroke diesel, is a gas engine reworked as a diesel. Have not heard or read this before so I thought to ask here .
Forum Discussion
The D and DX blocks were made by Oldsmobile. They are same size and dimension as an Olds gas small block. They definitly had there issues as a diesel. But convert them to gas with Olds gas block parts ( heads intake etc) they will run well. They D and DX blocks are very popular with the high performance Oldsmobile crowd because the blocks are very strong. Can easily handel 1200+ HP.
