From my experience with the GM 6.2 vs the Ford (Jap) 7.3, I'd say the 6.2 is the superior motor by far.
Easier starts.
Better economy.
Wider torque range.
Better driveability.
That 7.3 is a total piece of crap unless it is turbo charged.
The 6.2 is only partially a piece of crap until it is...
Dude, could be way worse.. you could be stuck with a 7.3 N/A
We had one a s a plumbing rig.
At least the 6.2 can rev up a little bit.
That N/A 7/2 had the tightest torque band of any engine I have ever driven.
Total piece of hampster fodder.
No.
Diesels have a wide open intake manifold.
The only thing the injection pump does is inject fuel in different quantities dependent on throttle inputs via the cable at variable injection timing dependent upon engine speed.
It is all mechanical and not very sophisticated.
But dead simple...
