Here's something for someone to play with. I believe that this is the engine that Mark used in his conversion.

The description is not correct. It is not a Detroit Allison design by any stretch of the imagination.

I agree with you Bob - it is pure GM, and a damn good engine at that. I drove a Suburban with that engine almost a half-million miles. Like an idiot, I traded up for a '99 gasser that smelled like cigarette smoke. Finally donated the '85 to charity.
