So the early 4000 gassers were 192ci and the diesels were always 201s.
Why?
Did the gasser put out more hp/ci than a diesel did?
That would make some people chagrined.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
When did they change the gassers to 201s?
Was it with the tin change?
Also,
I have read here that there was some difference between the lifters on a gas vs diesel.
I only know of the difference between the long pushrod engines with deep saddles in the lifters and the short push rod engines with shallow saddles. The difference in push rod lengths is at least an inch, maybe 1 1/4".
But I suspect it is an early / late thing and not gas vs diesel.
Later = deeper maybe.
Anybody know?
