IIRC those 5.7s were maintenance nightmares

I'd love to have an older GM 5.7 diesel but a two door with a five speed. They're cool to me because of how different they are. Sure there are plenty of people who hate the olds diesel but I also know plenty of people who loved them, put a lot of miles on them and got great MPG. I've never owned one but hope to some day if only for the novelty of it :hihi:

An old farmer here loved them. He treated them like a rented mule, maybe that is the secret of life?

The last sentence in the post explains it all:

Needs head gasket. Don't have time to work on it anymore.

Could you shoe horn in a 6.5?

Could you shoe horn in a 6.5?

Oh yea, But I'd still keep the Olds.

I had a couple of the Olds Cutlass coupes.
Great little rig, but the diesels were a maintenance hog

The heads cracked if you got them hot, and the gaskets were sketchy as well.

The Cutlass I had was fitted with the 260 Cu in diesel
