  But a 460's not exactly a diesel is it?  ;-)  Even an older 6.9 isn't much 
smaller/lighter than a 7.3 unlike a 6.2/6.5.  Ever got to a hot rod show?  
Most of the cars have sb Chevys in them.  Sure, I'd stick with a flathead 
V-8 in a '35 Ford pickup, if I ever get one but most don't.  
  I was looking at the '66 Mustang today and I sure bet that 2.8 would 
sure drop in there pretty easily AND make 30's for mileage or better!  :-)
It'd make it affordable to drive!
