Excellent comments. I really appreciate the engineering level discussion on

Diesel engines were designed to be as close to constant pressure/heat
engines as possible (Carnot cycle engines) rather than expansion with

True. The 636 (?) has a throttle butterfly plate, and does
have a manifold vacuum as a result, at least at partial throttle!
The Frankenheap has no connection from the throttle linkage to
the IP, except for the vacuum
engines (Otto cycle). Think steam engines, where steam pressure
straight from the boiler is applied to the piston face until it
reaches BDC, at which point the entire charge is dumped into the low
pressure cylinder to expand with pressure loss. Very efficient.
