The film company's prototype LAV-Striker has an off-the-shelf
'Targetmaster" GM 6.2 for a powerplant. I've never tried, but apparently
you can just order them through GM like any other part.
I'm pretty sure the HMMWV engine labels say "Detroit Diesel Allison" on
them, and from what I recall, they were taking GM 6.2 engines out of
declared CUCV vehicles for awhile there to be sent through the HMMWV engine
rebuild program.
(The manifolds and injector pump and stuff would be different of course, but
the block and heads etc. must be identical.)
