GM's 350 diesel shared dimensions with the gas 350, but it was not a modified gas engine.

Similar. A black, 2-door Caprice. It really struggled to start at <20F-ish temps and was so slow. Rode and drove well for that time and OG coal-rolling in 1982--it wasn't cool then either.

It was still a POS.

Decades ago, getting firewood via forest service permit. Another guy there with a Chevy pickup running one of those diesels. I asked him how he liked it. He asked if I'd help him push it off a cliff. Not a high point for GM...right up there with the Vega.
