Re: Is this guy confused?
The 5.7 was built off the tough for gas Olds 350 block starting in '78.It wasn't a great motor compared to today,but was at least a responsible effort by GM to offer the alternative of diesel.The primary fault was the pick up screen for the oil pump.It clogged and starved the motor of oil.If that plastic piece of crap is removed it solves that problem...if you can find one.
In '82 GM introduced the 6.2 built by Detroit-Allison and '82 is the best year due to the higher nickle content in the block.The same specs were continued on the military 6.2s
