The RD, or Red Diamond engines, were physically larger, and the most popular were the RD450 and the RD501. The RD501 had 4--barrel carburetion from the factory. They were torque monsters, but not generally known as high-rpm engines in stock form. Still, a RD501 would basically double the cubic inches of a stock 560. RD engines would usually be found in R-series trucks, such as the R-180 and larger with the "butterfly" hoods. [Reply]  [No Email]

The new engine had a shorter stroke, a chrome alloy cylinder block, and a higher lift camshaft. It also featured slow rotating Stellite-faced exhaust valves and chromed top piston rings. A new "visible flow" carburetor had a fast idle cam that speeded engine warm up. The three sizes of Super Red Diamond engines (372, 406, and 450 cid) had improved combustion chambers, redesigned valve ports, rotating exhaust valves with more durable seats and improved rings. The Super Blue Diamond (269 cid) had a new cylinder head with improved valve ports and coolant passages, altered ignition timing for the new 6.5:1 compression ratio, aluminum-alloy pistons, and "visible flow" carburetor. The little Silver Diamonds (220 and 240 cid) engines featured rotating valves and improved carburetor, plus a ceramic fuel filter and hotter spark plugs. LPG engines, which had previously been offered only in L-185 and larger models, were available in trucks as light as the R-150 in the new line. [Reply]  [No Email]
