One thing I can tell you about the Olds diesel is that I know a few people who were scouring the wrecking yards looking for them. The block may be too wimpy for diesel service, but they made a stout block for racing. While 23.5 to 1 was too much compression for the lower end, they could handle all the abuse racers could dish out up to 12 to 1. Leave it to gearheads to make a silk purse out of that particular sow's ear...
