Cool! Looks like a well-done setup!

poolmike · 11-22-2007, 10:51 PM

Diesel hotrods! I like diesel. I have a video of a Cummins powered '70 Monte Carlo. One bad ride.

yes sir.

they range from 14:1 to 24:1 and im also pretty sure there are some higher ratios than that.

this completely destroys the reason to buy a GNX...

I hope its just a normal n/a grand national that he did this too.

Well looks like a GN,and if it was then it def wasn't N/A.... but i agree, shoulda used a Regal instead, woulda saved about 7k on the price of the car haha...

thats reatarded.

ozthunder · 11-23-2007, 12:09 PM

I'd rather autocross an F650 than do this to a GN.

lol the ****ing TG van that hammond rolled!

ozthunder · 11-23-2007, 12:16 PM

lol..yes. Basically, i'd risk imminent death instead of deprive the GN of its awesome powerplant.

StreetEG · 11-23-2007, 12:26 PM

gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

poolmike · 11-23-2007, 06:39 PM

I personally love it. I want to see more diesel swaps. That car will probably turn 11's without much effort and still pull 25mpg.

den9 · 11-23-2007, 07:24 PM

this was on the cover of 8 lug diesel mag i think, i know they put a duramax in a impala, and a cummins in a jeep wrangler, that got 28 mpg, and 650 ft/lbs of torque

i bet that thing can run 9's

DSMTJ · 11-23-2007, 07:24 PM

looks nice, and it'd different. at least he did a swap and is still fast unlike alot of turds that do a motorswap and still run 15's.

evomike · 11-23-2007, 07:25 PM

Why is that gay it will make more power a lot easier then the stock motor, the duramax is such a good motor its a great idea, I would do itin a heartbeat its not like those cars are really even worth anything anyway, its a crappy 80's gm

Vince@R/TTuning · 11-23-2007, 07:30 PM

i like it....like this one more http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...arch&plindex=1

You are being sarcastic right?

Does everyone hate that second video too? because that car is also swapped!

evomike · 11-23-2007, 07:49 PM

I'm not being sarcastic at all the duramax is a way better engine then what came it a gn from te factory. And honestly those cars aren't really worth anything major, its not like they destroyed something super rare, I see plenty of them driving around everyday. In my opinion they made that car way better.

Honduh · 11-23-2007, 08:17 PM

where do you live that you see multiple GNX's on a daily basis? I think I see a total of like 10 a year.
