Starting to learn a little bit now. So, the 617 is maybe the most solid motor, just harder to get power out of? I just don’t want a motor that is going to have known problems before I start playing with it (cracked head, bent rods). I assume the 617 would probably be the least expensive too. What cars have the 617? What type of injectors are used? Is is something that would easily be edm'ed, or honed?

Don, are you on every diesel related forum known to man? LOL! It's cool you're working on rods.
