Default not a Duramax, or truck.....

Didn't know where to post this. Figured it is a BBC diesel 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.

Wow...I can't wait to hear what it pulls at the track. A crewcab 3/4 ton with nothing but a tune can hit low 13's...
