a 6.5 in an f-body would probably run similar times to a 3.8 v-6 car does stock.

not really a performance oriented motor swap, but definately awesome work done!

The 6.5 was kind of a dog, but its definately cool to see a big diesel in an Fbody.

Yea, a duramax would've been SWEET and alot more $$$$. I think the 6.5's can get a solid 350+ horsepower with the right upgrades.
