Constructed in [[1981]], it was originally constructed to create diesel counterparts of GM's gasoline engines<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080915/NEWS03/809150314|work=Lansing State Journal|title=THE PLANTS|author=|publishedmonthday=September 15|publishedyear=2008|accessmonthday=December 27 |accessyear=2008}}</ref>, though, by the next year, GM had abanonded the project.
