Diesel Camaro
thank you sir. it is fun to drive, easy on fuel too. its stiff, no radio heat or A/C solid motor mounts it aint luxury, but simple and dependable. does my DD duty quite well.
thought about it, or turning the exhaust slightly upward...
that has got to be one of the coolest damn swap i have ever seen...i dont know how much R&D went into it but jesus...you are going to get a hell of a lotta looks when you go seeking more power from a tuner..and pullin with a diesel fbody..lmao mucho R&D. I kept focused and wrote everythin i thought of down on paper. The rear mount turbo helped me aLOT with room and weight characteristics.
now tell me..you going to run a bullydog kit? thatd be fgn awesome!!! need pics of the undercarriage as well!

I gotta get some pics of the hood on my car. to someone who mentioned harwood. Yes, it does have a Harwood wide 2.5" cowl hood on it currently. For awhile now it's still has the gel-coat from factory. too cheap to get it painted lol

Said it before...sayin it again. I LOVE that thing! Ide say the 93-97 Camaros are my least favorite body style for an f-body...but that combo you have is really attractive. Not to mention the innovation factor with the motor.
How does it handle vs. the stock set up? I dont know how much heavier the diesel is than a SBC...
Great work and, like everyone else, I want more vids!!!

That thing looks crazy, is crazy, and i love it. The car looks spot on. I wouldnt change a thing. Thats the best of both worlds, an fbody and a diesel. Im glad you put a 6.5 in it and not a dmax

The engine weighs much more than the 3.4L that came with it. Like 300 lb. But some weight reduction cured some of the weight issue.
Track times coming THIS Friday.
Dyno soon after. Engine build in progress. Try to get a vids of track run, just been Very busy.
hlaalu, fortunately for you this truck is at the same height as yours and doesn't smoke black much.
Yeah, it's for sure different. I would love to find a CME valence and route it accordingly.

Hot Rod Magazine would be all over this!!! Not too long ago they had a Supra-powered first gen Camaro. They are all about anyone who dares to be different. My props to you for breaking the mold and building something truly cool!
never ending up making it to the track. It isn't shifting at WOT (trans internal issue), it's slipping, and I broke a wheel stud pretty much ending my chances of a decent run. ohh well, it is the first issue I've had since completion. trans will be rebuilt when funds allow.
Anyone with experience with TCI's Trans Controller?
any vendors here sell rebuild kits for the 80e?
already have the Transgo Hd2, any other recommended trans upgrades while I'm in there?

What's the redline on that engine? What made you put a diesel in it instead of an ls1? Do you have a build thread? I bet you get some crazy looks at the gas station. Thats a great looking car too and congrats on being different.
