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.

Sweet, cant believe it fit. Im happy to read you have already dived into the project and almost complete instead of asking if it would work. Any more pics on the swap?

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...
