Specs of the LF9 Block
The horsepower is one thing that people complained about with the 5.7 diesel. The first builds were capable of hitting somewhere between 105 hp to 120 hp. A few changes in air flow were incorporated into the design, but it still lacked a lot of power. The block is an indirect injection powered system.
The OHV build ensured it could be utilized in sedan and medium-duty pickup trucks. The motor has a cast iron casing. It is heavy, but it did its job for a number of years until it was terminated in the 1985 year. A lot of people still remember and ask for the LF9 diesel. We have them here in second hand condition.
Where to Install the 5.7 Liter
Each division of General Motors marketed the LF9 block. There were no less than a total of 40 different vehicles that debuted at some point using the Oldsmobile built diesel. As time passed by, more focus was placed on the price of fuel. That concept sealed the fate of the poorly powered LF9 diesel engine.
If you have one of the following brands, you can probably install the block inside:
Buick
Pontiac
Oldsmobile
