The 8.0L, 9.1L, and 10.3L engine family was designed from the ground up as an industrial engine. From the engine block to the heads to the camshaft, each component was designed to perform in an industrial application. KEM Equipment provides this engine platform with the proven reliable GM MEFI ECM. The ECM provides spark and fuel control making KEM Equipment's 8.0L to 10.3L some of the cleanest running and most reliable engines available.
