Damn.. I need a 8.1 in my life! This is like the greatest diesel alternative. Is it pricey to make power vs. An LS style engine?

 

Cam piston rods and a turbo is your best bet

 

So on a GMT800 platform the motor should drop in with the standard motor mounts? On your 1500 did you have to run any suspension mods upfront to account for extra wieght? I heard they have problems with the block cracking is this true or hersay? I gotta say im loving the look of that tourqe curve and getting 16mpg to boot...hell yea..I think I just found a new project!
