AMG GEP Optimizer 6500 Long Block

Meet Quadstar's version of the Optimizer 6500, the latest revision of the 6.5L diesel that is still in production today!  It features a 506 block design with piston squirters, like a GM casting, except it is cast with an improved metallurgy.  The heads have induction hardened seats and opened cooling passages between the valves to address all the issues GM engines traditionally had.
