Engines power was not tailerd to vehicles. A chevy 350 in a car makes the same power/torque as a 350 in a truck. The deisel 350 block is almost identical to a gas 350 block [olds motors] In fact lots of people take diesel 350's and convert them to gas 350's because of how much beefier the diesel blocks are.
