Didn't know where to post this. Figured it is a big block Chevrolet engine I would put it here.

have been reading here a while and learned alot. My LQ9-based Silverado will hold it's own on the street.

I have a side project I am working on, thought I would share. The car started as a 1994 Camaro V6 car, no options, drum rears, nothing special. Got a donor engine from a Chevrolet truck with a 6.5L turbo diesel/4L80E drivetrain. just about near completion. Test drive within a month.

Flame suit on!

Why don't you just finish the slaughter of your camaro right and throw a transfer case on a front drive axle, jack it up about 2 ft, and throw some 44 super swampers on it.


J/K it should be pretty quick, as well as nose heavy(probably less than a BBC) and just plain noisy. I'm curious about fuel mileage though.

 

This should be a great swap once it's finished, i'm also curious about gas mileage...and your tire budget.

 

Just got her runnin' last week. Here's a vid.....

dude, that is sick! i'ld hate to be lined up against that thing. those duramax's really haul a truck much less in a light car.

 

its not a dmax.. its a 6.5 diesel... werent those things pretty worthless? cool swap nonetheless...

 

that is sick!! i saw a guy swapped a modded duramaxx into an sn95 mustang, and was running solid 9's and averaging 30 mpg on the highway

 

Pretty damn cool if you ask me. Very unique man, you did a good job.

 

So how long has that modification taken you??

 

a long time.......

 

this is how it sits as of Today. at ride height.

A diesel? Damn I've never seen one looks cool and fun. Good luck with the project.

 

Haha very nice. Best modded car ive seen so far.

 

i guess i just assumed dmax when i saw chevy and diesel. doh!

 

Just when you thought youd seen a lot of crazy swaps... Theres a cummins chevelle or Monte carlo out there also.

 

pretty cool,but i would have went with a duramax for the easier power.

 

the 6.5 can be turned into a real stump puller with some mods, still a damn nice engine.

 

Mods, I didn't know they made mods for a 6.5L diesel

Finishing up the charge pipe for the rear mount turbo today. I will pressure test it for leaks.

The entire car was built with my hands. !HVAC, !ABS, !weight, battery relocation, rear turbo, etc should put the car close to 60/40 weight distribution or better.

haha yeah they aint too common

 

One word...COOL!!
