I think the converted 5.7 diesel is probably the worst engine GM ever made (and it is what gave the 6.2 a bad name), although I am sure there are a few others that might give it a close race, the 6.2 is not one of them though. The 6.2 was made by Detroit Diesel and from what I have read is actually a pretty good engine. I did alot of research on the engine before doing my conversion, I originally wanted a toyota or isuzu but after researching the 6.2 it just made sense. I am just starting to drive mine but so far it seems like a good choice.
