Detroit Diesel also came out with the 8.2 in the late 70's or early 80's. They called it the fuel pincher. It was a 4 cycle engine that was used in medium duty trucks. It got mixed reviews as far as how good of an engine it was. We had several in our school buses, and I had good luck with them. They haven't been used in highway vehicles since the earlt 1990's, they were to dirty and couldn't meet emission standards. I have heard that they are used in marine applications after that, but I have never seen one.
