carbed idi!

Now doesn't that look alot like the idi's? Its not an idi it a mv446. It is the gas engine that was used as a base for the idi. Pretty neat, and it was a heavy engine like the idi too.

Yup, the old 549 V8 gas job that later (in 1974-75) became the 9.0L Diesel.

Yes, it's a gas engine that was converted to Diesel.
