They came as NA & turbo, they were very popular in school busses and used to repower older small transit busses. The one I drove 18 years ago was in a 1957 GM TGH 3102 transit bus that had been repowered in the early eighties. Not a bad engine if you don’t overload it or run it out of oil. Problems were with the head gaskets and finding someone that knew how set the injector height properly. We never had any problems starting the bus. Only problem we had was one driver wouldn’t check the oil and ran it low. By the way that bus is still running in a private collection.
