1970 DMC Diesel Monte Carlo '99 Cummins turbo 24 valve

[tornadvort211]

Did you retrofit the front end? The 5.9 has some weight. I was told you can use the stock spindles with heavy srpings, not sure though.

[dc5000123]

Now all you need is a biodiesel kit :)

[yard1sale1dale]

Oh, man, I bet you can cruise at 80 and it's not even noticing the load. Great build.

[MrCouchmen]

What difference is betwen Duramax and Cummings?

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

@MrCouchmen cummins are better, thats wat

[jstett1]

Hell I'll drive that Monte All the way to Niagara Fall NY No Problem with that CumminsnA Real Diesel!!!#

[jstett1]

A Cummins belongs in a Monte Carlo man look at that engine baybroud that Mighty Cummins!!! Roll down the ATL in thatbshit hell ya

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

Good conversion, though, but from 1982 to December 1983 there were real Monte Carlo diesels (on the G-body chassis), the V8 version being the quickest (as opposed to the V6 version).

[TheChevycummins]

Ok those cars have the length and the width, but where in the hell did you find the depth?

[tdk468]

@TheChevycummins The oil fill cap is about an 1/8 inch from the hood and the oil pan in a 1/2 from the cross member. I had to add a air bleed to the coolant system since the rad. is lower than the motor. Its tight.

[TheChevycummins]

@tdk468 Sound like its tight. i bet that rns alot of heads and pisses off those people who think diesels are strictly for pulling. Lol, its like they have never heard of power and mpg combined. Its the mpg that is the selling point in the diesel trucks anyway. What does the monte get? is it chipped or anything?

[TropicalConfederate]

Any dyno time? 1/4 mile times? How are highway pulls? Interesting to know. I have a 71 roadrunner freshley restored I want to put a 12V in.

[800hennessy]

@TropicalConfederate Dude that would be so sick....I'm doing research to put a 5.9 24 valve in my 73 Challenger :)

[CrazyRockerGuy]

top speed ?

[MattCHollis1988]

needs some dyno matting for the interior to take down on engine noise. but that's one bad ass car,

[GoriillaHERO]

you put a diesel in u Super car. wat a bitch

[Seattlecarnut]

The 5.9 litre Cummins 6BT seems to fit comfortably in there. I would've thought it would've been a snug fit with not much room for anything else. I've always liked diesel engines.

[12valvepower1]

ttr3061 can go suck my powerstroke tail pipe

[44werewolfnomore]

@12valvepower1 dont you mean powerchoke?

[ka24det28]

That's so cool, was it hard doing that swap?

[masonblazin]

i fucking love this car



[biggdaddy2001]

White boys engine in a black mans car how funny

[Khabibulin3935]

SLP loudmouth or flowmasters would make that deisel sound good on that monte carlo

[tmaxxkills]

That felt weird just looking at that:)

[kjz28]

I would so use that as a commuter car!!! Old style with great mpg! You have the coolest montecarlo on the internet!!

[Seattlecarnut]

Nice looking car. I like the sound of the engine. Are you still working on the car or is the work complete?

[Desmodromic916]

Its a two stroke !

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

@Desmodromic916 no it isnt..its a 4 stroke..i know i ahve the same exact engine in my truck

[TheBIGREDSMOKER]

i'm in love..

[xcody38x]

DERBY IT!

[flubyux2]

Turn the Ac on! I want to convert my 79 Ta to diesel but i dunno if a 12valve will fit. My original idea was an lb7 duramax but if a cummins will fit, I'd prefer that. Btw, if you haven't had any trans work done, look into a 93% efficiency billet converter. Going lower on the stall really wakes up the cummins.

[r682723b]

ruined monte...wtf 0-60 in 30 minutes !! sounds like a garbage truck!

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

@r682723b you honestly dont know anything about diesel do you?....that engine is stronger, faster, more powerful, more efficient, lasts longer, and can handle more abuse that your gasoline ever can.

[richardarichter123]

super fits like a glove sounds good 2

[bwwjr92]

i bet that car can pull a big ass boat

[nooblarg]

@tdk468 How much did it cost you to do this swap?

[w140fan]

now that's BADASS!!

[SuBN01z3RaT]

my ears and eyes are so confused lol whats the mpg ? i wanna do a 24v swap on my 72 c10

[tdk468]

@SuBN01z3RaT

MPG is 25-30

[tdk468]

@SuBN01z3RaT

MPG is 25-30 

[yard1sale1dale]

@tdk468 makes sense. You could "lug" it and that motor would probably not even feel it.

[thebus49]

absolutely fantastic...ive been wanting to do this with a chevelle. People have no idea how much better diesel is

[SuBN01z3RaT]

@thebus49 yup but with my budget the 12v swap isnt looking to likely in the future right now the goal is to do my top end swap on my 383 get my 6 speed then from there the deisel swap depends on if i find another car to swap my 383 into so i can keep a daily

[wweraw5678]

what rear end does it have

[DungVids]

Another Monte ruined

[tdk468]

@DungVids

I have more

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

@tdk468 can you make me one like this?

[HEATEDFROGGY420]

@tdk468 since you have more sell me one. not with the diesel though.

[ttr3061]

@DungVids How do u figure the motor is ten times better than the piece a fuck car

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

@DungVids he ruined it good

[hannas1234]

@DungVids Let me guess: It should be sittin' on 24"s and have a metal-flake candy paint job and custom white-leather interior.

[MrBoricua10]

how long did it take and how did you mod the car for the engine/tranny?

[dima3102]

что по расходу? рукастый ты парень!!!!

[cvarese145]

that is fucking awesome, still got all six gears in there?

[cvarese145]

that is fucking awesome

[TheHighwayHouse]

Would love to have a word with you about the car, if you have the time!

[1988diesel]

what engine did the monte carlo have in it,before getting the cummins.

[jackbeam012]

dude that is seriously one of the coolest things ive ever seen good job it looks like it belongs in there!!



[karlmac1]

Great conversion.

[stressfactor03]

Now theres something you dont see everyday! check out the burn out WOW! LOL

[monkeyboy563]

The car GM should have built. Too cool!

[oldschoolcommy]

Man once you take the fan shroud out you get so much more room.

[ruwithlee1970]

What kid of fuel economy do you get? And why not a duramax ?

[malevolenceXXXensues]

just as cool as a chevelle in my opinion

[markduncan93]

what transmission did you use and what's the mpg?

[BuBoNiCcHrOnIc91]

i love this this guy just jumps in and starts this thing up and drives away like he dont even know he has a truck motor a CUMMINS in his car god damn you must ba a proud owner i would be son big ups to you SIR!!

[mitsumivec4life]

@BigL513 and your mama's ugly

[doritostheking]

@BigL513 He's driving normally, you retard.

[BigL513]

@doritostheking shut your mouth cunt..to do this to a 70 monte,your a fucking hillbilly.

[doritostheking]

@BigL513 Really a swap like this requires a fair amount of engineering knowledge that a hillbilly would never have, or at least more engineering knowledge than you have literacy.

[crooster52991]

what made you decide a deisel was the right way to go on that thing? i imagine all that weight in the front isn't easy to handle

[DrFruikenstein]

It sounds like a tractor, but that's a good thing. A stock 427, or 396 Monte might sound cool, but wouldn't likely pull a 3 story house very far without damaging itself. Also, a 427, or 396, probably wouldn't go half as far on a tank of fuel. With all that torque, you should be able to do a 20 hour (I love exaggeration) burnout with ease.

Ooooooooooo... I see a burnout link. Time to click it :-)

[montecarloguy1246]

idc stock is where its at

[hunterlong123]

you otta straight pipe that hoss!

[TiWolfFilms]

All muscle cars should be diesel :D

[TheKyridgerunner]

Sweet, just found the Engine for my 1967 impala SS... BadAss.!!!

[zaaritha]

Waoow!

[arrivalblue2]

That just sounds so wrong... lol but it's awesome!

[DukeNukem65]

What axle ratio do you have, I would imagine the smallest numerical gear possible.

[trentontodd]

at least you dont have a 10" exhaust stack comen out of the truck lid! 

[RipleyxReactive]

that is awsome

[montecarloguy1246]

so still this car would be worth more if it had a 454 in it with a posi and it would be way better and probly be easyer to drive

[Gen1cummins1992]

@montecarloguy1246 The 454 may be easier to drive, but can you emagine the fuel milage difference? With the cummins i bet you could pull 20-30mpg easy in that little car and still have fun :)

[jstett1]

CUMMINS POWER!!!

[montecarloguy1246]

you are stuipid that is a good car would be better if you put a 454 in it and it wouldint had cost as much plus you had to chand=ge a lot of wireing gas tank electric and fuel gage

[jstett1]

@montecarloguy1246 He put a Legendary Cummins in it. Cummins 5.9 fits easy in these monte carlos

[deeznutts206]

@montecarloguy1246

no you are stupid becuase the 454 is obsolete the 502 is where its at. Anyway that diesel would out pull the 502.

[blazier18]

ha ha dam good customizin next is some jammer 150hp injectors stage 5 tranny rebuild kit and a programmer and twins s362/475 batta boom batta beem u gots it

[lhsowdal]

Simply awesome. g1 tdk

[deannaber]

You got me i felt bad right after saying that, thank you for not using another choice of words in your responce .To answer your question honestly i had been burned at a shop where i worked on performance and race cummins Mechanical and electronic injection systems, i know how reliable and powerful with turbos,they are and can be!! gasoline engines run too hot to live longer than a diesel!! It was the people i worked with nice job really

[Ricardodelamuerte]

other then the 4 inch exhaust, is it stock?

also, is their much vibration in the steering column? very well executed, man.

[jstett1]

Hey man I am VERY motivated to do this in a Monte Carlo, Cutlass, or any Mopar!!

So if you would please tell me any tips or what ever. you can message me inbox. I am a Big fan of your Monte Carlo and a BIG Cummins man!!!!

[themanmaschine]

Very nicely done, the Cummins looks right at home in there!

[grenadasblessed]

great job

[aaron12v92]

nice set up and to all those that complain that a diesel is under there theyre stupid u can set that engine up to run at least 600hp and still get over 20mpg try that with a gas pile of crap!!! lol and on top of that still being reliable being a cummins!

[deannaber]

worthless

[CustomDeluxe1984]

@deannaber why is it worthless?

[777worldliner]

where did you get that valve cover from??

[BIGBILL105]

That motor looks factory in the engine bay

[bgregg1981]

what did you have to do with the front suspension to hold the weight?

[CaroneM]

American muscle car with diesel? Sounds sweet =)

[jstett1]

@CaroneM CUMMINS POWER!!

[TheLilRed86C10]

As great as the fab and work was put into this is. I dont like it. My opinion. I think it ruined the car. My dad has a 70 Monte and he has the turbo fire 350 in it and thats how a car like this should stay

[dormatt123]

I like it man..but your crazy...your really fuckin crazy man!!

[jeffsteadman]

how close to the ground is that oil pan?

[antisocialisme]

Nice car but theres no spark plugs, it knocks alot and has a whine when it accelerates . Sounds like a truck I drive at work . Sweeeet

[pacotaco99]

@antisocialisme probably beacuse its a diesel... DUMB ASS

[raremountainbear]

@pacotaco99 Looks like you're the dumbass as he was very obviously joking.

[217zenki]

Nice work.

[lcplic]

Badass!!!

[ricardinhomascaro]

Monte RAM !!!!

[jstett1]

THAT IS A SWEET SOUNDING CUMMINS! I WANT TO DO THIS FOR REAL!!!

[Psychlonic]

I think the "diesel muscle car" idea is pretty badass, given the ridiculous torque output. I love the high rap of a gasoline V8 as much as the next guy, but these babies are definitely menacing as well, especially with the turbo whistling alongside the low rumble of the diesel. The Duramax Camaro in another video just sounds absolutely incredible.

[mrzood]

You must get excellent mileage.

[irarawkstarr]

I like the car itself but I just don't know... a diesel engine in a muscle car just seems weird. Don't get me wrong it's a cool project, I'm just a bit of an originality Nazi I guess.

[jamcousi9]

Why?

[siTTinLo420]

@jamcousi9 ,,,,Why not?

[TheUSVET]

That's crazy Nice job! How long did the install take and was it a bitch?

[fardell]

I love the sound of diesel.

[1988skoal]

does is have a heater?

[DanielJaegerFilms]

Simply Awesome!

[Everioish]

My god it sounds like a transport truck.

[1219548tom]

duramax!!!! put a jap engine in....hell no cummins all the way!!!

[ironman1092]

my question is why cuz if your lookin for power you definately lost it with the weight of the engine

[wayfastwhitey07]

@ironman1092 are you stupid?... diesel engine.... lost power with the weight of the engine? how about gained power through lack of wieght from the car, although its a big car, it does not weigh in at what a ram3500 4x4 does.

[929ish]

Well I'm a chevy guy but that is awesome i'de do a 3500 duramax if it would fit haha

[tdk468]

Yes, I live off of hwy A and plass

[herculesinwyoming]

@tdk468 nice

[ProRigWelder]

Hey i have a vehicle with that same engine... but its a truck

[dunnoo7]

I am almost certain that i have seen you in Pevely MO. I see your plate is MO , are in the pevely area?

[66stevei]

were you get the motor mnts

[tdk468]

I made them

[mitsumivec4life]

@tdk468 tdk468 do you know if the intercooler came factory with the engine?

[BuBoNiCcHrOnIc91]

@tdk468 i was sittin here lmao watchin this vid about some car and it sounded like a truck drivin around it crazy dude nice truck funny stuff

[boardingpass04]

thats cool that you got it to fit in ther

[autom0bile]

You could sound deaden those floor and you'd hardly notice the Cummins

[tdk468]

I did

[remodrums33]

Why the heck would you do that!?

[autom0bile]

@remodrums33 if he wants it to be like a normal car inside.

[marcw680]

Dude Clean looks like it came with the car

[redougulas]

i think everyone just wants to know how fast this car is...

[BrentAudi]

What an incredible creation!  I bet it is a blast to drive!

Sounds freaking awesome!

[Levi61092]

It's a truck, It's a semi-, It's... What the FUCK?

[dimmuborgir6nik6]

Imaging someone sitting at the light and this car rolls up next to them and they're looking around for a pickup truck going where the fuck is it?

[invaderflame]

@dimmuborgir6nik6 HAHAHA 

[MrBeAsT1011]

this car sounds like it could take a brick wall off a house with it like it was nothinn.. damn son

[Boggle122333]

i love cummins engines and old bodies like this. i really want to build up a car like this. how much is the engine by itself? your body/car frame?

[bastardeyez]

that sounds like my grandpas old fiat tractor...

[Grummur]

pretty neat swap bud. Always nice to see a bi ol' monte tearing it up.

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

whered u get that engine..i wanna do this to my trans am....1978

[slowride55]

Why not like a 383 or 454

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

@slowride55 lol and get 12mpg....this engine is better that those gasoline engines and had better mileage and more power

[irarawkstarr]

@CrazyForCooCooPuffs But gasoline engines sound better.

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

@irarawkstarr yea...but it sucks when i have to fill up every 4 days...

[YOUONLYLIVEONCE08]

@slowride55 probabaly because that diesel makes ungodly amounts of torque =D, or because he wanted to haha

[roatnay]

and remember....don't crush em. restore em.....oh and add a diesel too.

[speedjunkie66]

thats fuckin sick but cool!!

[TheTravelall]

awesom ride and work looks really nice

[SCBianchi]

ZOMG HOW EFFING BAD ASS CAN YOU GET

[Ryoukun16]

I said it before and I'll say it again; start motor, bricks will be shat from unassuming onlookers.

[GH02T823]

that is fucking bitching. is that a 5.9 or 6.7. it looks like 5.9 because who really wants a clunker 6.7.

[importsstillsuck]

@GH02T823 6.7 is no good?

[GH02T823]

@importsstillsuck i see people having issues with them all the time but the 5.9 ive seen just a smarty on it and it is a beast after it.

[shamarone]

this is the most awesome cummins swap i've ever seen (car or truck)...! but that's not really the issue. the real issue is did you do anything to the front suspension to allow a 70's monte to carry the near 1100 lbs weight of a diesel block...??? i just bought an old '91 ford truck (351w) that i plan to repower with a cummins in a few years, but it's a F350 dually with 1-ton chassis and suspension.

[jackcass13]

you could fit any engine in a fucking 70 monte. the hoods are like 8 feet long. lol

[damoose1896]

@jackcass13 6 feet.. dumbass.. my dad has one..

[CN300]

nice sound
