[Gmecm] TPS for diesel

[burntkat at sc.rr.com]

I'm sorry, but- WRONG..

There are NO parts in common with the 5.7 Gas engine. The block is NOT 
a gas block.

Sorry, but get your facts straight first, then discuss.

Being heavier, the block is often used in gasoline engines-- to build 
up a very strong engine as you mention, for drag purposes. however, 
that does not make it a gas block.
