Rob,
Ya missed one interesting point re:6.5 engines. GM sold the tools
and dies and the right to manufacture to AM General the 6.5 engine so AM
Generak could continue a uniterrupted supply of 6.5 (nonturbo that is
noramlly aspirated) diesel engines for the Hummer and the HMMWV. This was
due to GM's decision to shut down production of the 6.5 turbocharged engine
they were building for internal needs and from the same prodution line were
supplying AMG with nonturbo versions of the 6.5. As I recall AMG built a new
plant from scratch to build the AMG manufactured 6.5 and will be providing
GM with new 6.5's as GM oreders them. The 6.5 also allows AMG to offer a
higher horsepower than the 150 the 6.2 put out.
Lemme C naw.........TO VEE OR NOT TO VEE???
