Yes, they converted a 350 gas engine to Diesel. They actually did get all the problems worked out by about 82 or so, but by then, the damage was done to their reputation. Another problem was that the dealers did not know how to work on them properly which also caused problems.

Didn't they try to dieselize the small block and stick it in a buick or
caddy back in the 80s.  Had lots of problems I recall as lots of the parts
were not intended to take the extra beating a diesel subjects them to.

  Anybody remember the last time GM came up with a diesel on their
own?

Looks awesome!  There are all kinds of places where a small block can
fit... should be interesting to see where it shows up!
