Seen a few '73 and '74 C series mediums with gas V-6 and Toroflow power. The Cat 3208 was a modernized version of the older 1140/1150/1160 V-8 diesels. My understanding was Cat built the 1100 series V-8's for Ford, they were designed to interchange with the SD gasoline engines. They were also painted 'Ford Blue' too! We had a few TopKicks with 3208's, and I really liked them. Little tough to work on though.
