I said no not yet. but this spring I am going to PA. to tow back 5 ton. then I said I have "TRUCK" enough but really don't "ENGINE" .. The truck being a 85 1010. .. then the conversation went into how to modify a 6.2. then the guy said have you ever heard of taking GAS 350 heads on a 6.2.. I said no . he say's yea they will bolt right on and you change your intake make the diesel a gas engine ...

Can't be done. Its not possible. The 6.2 is not related to a sbc in anyway except the trans bolt pattern.

I think thats another story related to the olds´diesel, which is a converted gasser...but never possible with the 6.2 detroit diesel

well we were not talking about the old Oldsmobile. but he was saying yea just bolt the heads and intake and go.. I just stood there and intertied his way of thinking and then just walk off. and started to chuckle to my self and said what the heck put it out for a topic to talk about ...

It's moments like that when you truely know that a person is full of dung. For those who manage to display their knowledge for all to see, I usually agree and go on my way with a chuckle. One thing you never do is argue with them. They will drag you down to their level and beat you mercilessly with experience every time.

Well agreed, as that story was as hard follow as the actual topic.

As a CUCV owner I have had to explain more than once that the 6.2 is not what GM put in Oldsmobiles. The myth lives on in the minds in of the less informed. I am old enough to remember when GM was using these conversions and many said it would not work and they were right. These were diesels for people who did not know what a diesel engine is. I knew a guy whose wife put gasoline in the tank of their Olds! That did it!

The gasser hotrodderss love those old gm diesel cars,we can rob the hydro boost brake systems off them and have good power brakes without worrying about vacuum output!

GM just can't get past that old Olds engine. It's no telling how bad it hurt future diesel sales. I'm sure there are still people saying the Duramax is a converted gasser.

According to the vid, it looks like they even knew it in the early '80s.

GM poisoned the waters for diesel engines in cars with that Olds scenario. My doctor at the time had one and I told him to trade it in right away, which he did. Engine took a dump on the dealership when a potential customer took it for a test ride. But it was not his problem anymore!

Just tell folks it is a converted steam engine. Post it all over the interweb and soon it will be true.
