M113 had Chrysler 75M V8 Petrol. Not too many made. None went to NZ.
M113A1 had 6v53 Detroit Diesel. By far the bulk of vehicles were diesel A1 variants, incl all the NZ fleet.

The 75M was an industrial/militarised version of the 361 Dodge V8. Same water pump would fit the block. Did the NZ Army use any Dodge trucks as "C" line vehicles?
