Default Re: Diesel to gas reversion

I think what he really ment about converting it back to a gas engine is more like Swaping it back. I would say it would not bee too hard a job to remove the D351 and in stall either a 351 or 401 back in its place.

The Toro-Flow diesel did not come out tell 1964, a lot of the later trucks got dieselized, and many of the factory trucks that came with those diesels, got gas engines installed. the rating on the diesel were not really that good, a D478 had about the same power as a 401, and the D351 was not much better then a 305.

I think GMC missed the boat with the Toro-Flow, it should have been a light truck diesel, they work good in 14000 lbs or less trucks, and they also got good fuel milage when compeared to a GMC V6 gas engine.

the D351 was more rare of the two Toro-Flow sizes, a lot more of the D478 or DH478 got built, so don't scrap that engine, if you don't want it I'll bring my trailer to Wyo and pick it up. I got a 351C here at the house if you wanted to trade, I was told it ran when pulled but it been here for about 15 years now.
