Re: The 80 is home

Most of the dead diesels got swapped to Olds engines because they are a direct bolt-in. The early GM diesels were based on the Olds engine.

Re: The 80 is home

It's a Chevy small block. Shouldn't there be a number on the pad behind the alternator? It's getting yanked in a couple weeks and I'll see it all then. Thanks

Re: The 80 is home

I think the easiest way to tell is the Olds 350 has spark plugs above the exhaust manifold and the small block chevy are slightly below the exhaust manfold ports.

Hope it helps.
