they both arnt power houses but if they are taken care of they are relibel and good work hourse, the 5.7 weaknes was the head gaskets, poor fuel and people ran them like a gas engine
They were converted olds 350 engines. I've seen many and worked on a few of them myself years ago.
Mondello's performance oldsmobile parts I believe even offer a kit to change a 350 diesel BACK into a gasser engine.
