they share the same bore and stroke and some external bolt patterns (transmission and exhaust manifolds) but they are quite different.

theres a guy on diesel place they runs 2 rebuildt 5.7s one in 1993 3/4 and a 78 1/2. they have been more reliebel then the gas 5.7

for what they are they great but alot of people hate them because they are very under powered but they should not be discarted, when they are taken care off and run proberly they will run forever most Trucks and vans here that have 6.2 have over 400k on them and they are still running strong

Tonight mine pulled a few cars out of snowbanks, and is sitting in my driveway, icicles on the grille, wheels just white cakes of snow, buried up to the lug nuts in powder, straps and chains wrapped around the bumpers, the outline of the wipers clear in 4 inches of snow on the windshield... A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
