Heck, I still have two 1981 Chevy Chevettes with 1.8 Isuzu diesels and they've been great (the engines that is). 48 MPG on the highway for an 81 is pretty impressive.
Also got an 85 Isuzu P'UP 4WD truck with the 2.2 diesel - also a great little vehicle.
As far as I know - the only - almost- in-house diesel was the 350 designed by Oldsmobile division. The 6.2 was designed by Detroit Diesel. The new 6.5 blocks are now being made by part of Navistar (International Engine Co.). They wanted to call it International Harvester again - but can't since they sold the name off. The Duramax was jointly engineered with Isuzu and GM people. This new V-8 that's coming out - as described in the G.M. press-release - is a ground-up General Motors diesel - 300 horse and less than 6 liters. They claim it is 30% more efficient - but my question is - as compared to what?

I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
