That's cool. Too bad he didn't go for a 6.6-liter Duramax LBZ or LMM engine. He could have kept it GM that way, and a hell of a lot quieter. They did this to a 65 Chevy Impala SS on Pimp My Ride and it came out awesome. There is a guy on the Buick boards that took an 81 Cutlass Diesel and transformed it into a Buick GNX clone and dropped in a Duramax LB7 diesel engine in it. That thing looks and sounds bad ***. His website is http://www.18to1.com/index.php?&MMN_position=1:1 . I am starting to play with this idea in my head for my 76 Landau. I know I've got plenty of room for one. It would be nice to be able to cruise around getting 30 MPG and pulling 12.xx-13.xx second timeslips.

Yeah, it's pretty cool, though. I'm psyched about that kind of setup ever since I saw them convert an Impala coupe to a 6.6 turboed bio-diesel engine on "Pimp My Ride" making over 800hp and it smoked a (was it a Lamborghini or a Porsche?) on the 1/4 mile.
