Default Re: Diesel to gas reversion

First of all the ToroFlow 351 Diesel isn't a converted gas to Diesel type engine, yes the ToroFlow shares similar architecture to the gas V6 engines there are too many differences that would not make it practical to convert to gas. The balancing is completely different between the two engines. The Toroflow uses a balance shaft with weights, the head bolts are a larger diameter. It would be far more cost effective to just swap in a gas 351 or any other larger gas V6 like a 401 or 478. The only Toroflow that was the same with it's gas counterparts was the 637 V8, it was designed as a Diesel and a gas version only differed with a different set of heads and possibly balancing.
