Chevy Diesel Specs

May 25, 2004 21 Replies

A quick search turned this up,

2001 Vortec 8100, 8.1 liter, 496 = 4.250" x 4.37" 502 = 4.466" x 4.00"

Don't forget you're comparing a forced induction diesel to a naturally aspirated gas engine. forced induction by itself can make for huge boosts in low end torque. just imagine the power of a turbocharged

6.0 gas engine (to keep it comparable to the 6.6l Duramax)... the thought of a 8.1 with a turbo.... it just makes me feel all fuzzy inside.
