my dad had an '81 (or was it 84???) with the 8-6-4 engine... gah! He had it wired so it was always in 8 - then it actually was a pretty good engine.
He also had a yellow '77 Fleetwood (I think) 4-door with gold leather interior -

#2, hey, my dad had one of those too (Olds diesels) - guess he knew how to pick 'em >_<
there was a toggle switch on the floor where you could actually put it back to 8-6-4 ... I stepped on it once and did that car ever drive funny... you could really feel the switch over to the different modes - I wondered back then, didn't anyone at GM notice this??!?!?!

The 367 was actually a bigblock, and you could interchange parts with the 500. The 8--6-4 was a great idea, but executed poorly. Computers and relays were a lot more faulty then they are now. The Olds 350 Diesel was just an example at GM throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks. It makes a horrible diesel engine, but the blocks are highly sought after as the make AWESOME race engines. The HT4100 was pretty much along the same lines. Why GM put it in the C/D bodies is beyond me.

I would like to get an older Mercedes Diesel - those are supposed to go and go and go and go and go and go

#7, what do you mean, "woulda" made good gas engines? They did make good gas engines!:p It was never meant to be a diesel though. They only used the Olds 350, because they were notably stronger then any other gas engine they had at the time.

Robert DeNiro's character in "Casino" is behind the wheel of one of these with the "displacement on demand" motors when it's blown up by a car bomb, you can tell, because the interior shot of flames errupting from the dash, one of the displays visable says "Active Cylinders"

COme to think of it, there are a lot of old barge cars from the 70's in that movie, I think Peschi's character gets driven to his murder in a big freakin' Pontiac of some kind, and in one of the chase scenes, they briefly pass a 77' Trans Am in a parking garage

#15, I think I was born in the wrong year. I wish I grew up with bigass boats instead of econocars.
