[Oletrucks] My 1951 project

[Bob Keeland]

Bob,
 
A 4.3 V6 sounds great, and it is GM to beat. What year models were these
available on and are any particular years better than others? I have learned
that the GM 6.2 L were not as good as the later GM 6.5 L engines.
 
Does anyone know anything about making biodiesel from used cooking oil?
