Re: Diesel to gas reversion
I appreciate the input. As far as cubic inches go it really doesnt matter. I understand its a different application but I built a few SBC stroker 305s and really liked the outcome. I like to play and build things just to see what happens, and was just curious. Now I need to find someone that knows about these PSJ injector pumps.

Re: Diesel to gas reversion
Hi gang! It's been a long time since I have posted on this group. As for the T/F, my deceased dad (Lewis Sr.) said he saw one dh478 converted back to gasoline, but their is a great deal of conversion to do to make it a gasser. And with such a weak crankshaft, why would anyone want to do a conversion?? T/F cranks cannot be cut to an undersize bearing unless the shaft were either chrome plated or rehardned. Anyway, it is good to see the group still up and running. Take care & God bless,

Re: Diesel to gas reversion
the problem with turbocharging a diesel engine is that the compression ratio must be lowered in order for the engine to operate without melting the pistons or bending the connecting rods. In the other GM diesel (series 71) the compression ratio went down from 21.5 to 1 to 17.5 to 1 and the connecting rods had to be changed because they were of a different material.

Re: Diesel to gas reversion
My DH478 has an advertised compression ratio of 17.5:1. Makes it plenty suitable for turbocharging.
