Wrong...... the original 5.7 (1979-80) used was a converted gas motor but the 6.2 was designed and built by Detroit diesel. I have ran 6.2's and 6.5's non turbos for for years and they hold up fine. But once the turbos where added these motor did not fair to well. Later model 6.5's are ok but these motors never had the power that Dodge and Ford where putting out.
