I stumbled into a pile of Olds 350 diesel motors and parts for cheap. Two complete motors, two short blocks, several sets of heads, intakes, etc. Obviously I bought these for the blocks. Before I scrap the rest of the diesel parts, I'll let those items go cheap to anyone who can use them, and by cheap I mean scrap value plus a little for my time to disassemble (I'm not going to be particularly careful with parts I plan to scrap). Looks like four pairs of heads (let's say $20 apiece), at least one injector pump ($20), injectors, lines, glow plugs, vacuum pumps, and the myriad of sensors and vacuum valves and linkages needed to mimic the vacuum signal of a gas engine. Also cranks ($10), rods ($20/set), diesel-unique flexplates ($10), balancers, etc. You'll also note a diesel-calibrated TH350 ($50 as a core). I can't say that I really need all four of the blocks, but I haven't decided to sell any yet. Stay tuned. Note at least one oil filter adapter with the cooler fittings - this will be a little more than "scrap value" ($40). I haven't seen any starters yet, but I haven't really inventoried what I got.EDIT: oil filter adapters are sold. No starters. PM me if you have any diesel-specific parts needs. Depending on the part, I might be able to get it to Nationals. I can certainly deliver items to Fall Carlisle. And yes, I realize that aluminum intake in the last photo is from a 6.2. It's also available.

nice acquisition ! Ive always wanted to do a diesel gas conversion ever since i stumbled onto the one in my 77 cutlass supreme. sold that car a long time ago
Actually I've already joined both Olds Diesel FB groups. Thanks.
Also, FYI, despite the oh-so-helpful masking of FB links by the CO forum software, if you quote the post, the URL shows up in the quote, as you can see above.
Joe - how was the market for the used diesel parts? Were you able to sell much of this stuff off? If so what site (FB?) worked the best?
Turns out that there are two Olds diesel groups on FB. I found a buyer for my unwanted parts after only a few days. I'm meeting with him in a week to give him the parts (heads, intakes, injector pump, etc).
