Then again, your point is well taken - the whole point of diesels is
lots of power at low rpms.

Wrongo. The only point is economy. If not for that they wouldn't even
exist. As for low RPM Arrow makes a 25 hp, 396 CID spark engine. One
cylinder. Designed to run for fifty years at 300 RPM with
maintainance,usually just an oil change, once a year. You can get a
1000 hp diesel that size. The diesel is lighter.
