so the "toro flow" diesel is a 53 series? nothing at all wrong with a 53 Detroit. "53" means 53 cu in per cyl. they are two stroke, no intake valves with unit style injectors. they are wet liners, and the military even had some with aluminum blocks. i don't know about the inline engines but the v6s were available turbo charged. i would love to hear you drive by in that truck hauling a '64 back to the house! keep us posted!
