  • @whitepride7535 so having over 1000ft lbs isn't muscle?

  • Waisted American muscle

  • i wanna put a cummins in a challenger

  • i wanna put a powerstroke in a mustang 

  • @12valvepower1 use the 4.5L V6 powerstroke from the diesel F-150's in mexico

  • i bet that thing would haul some ass with that torque

  • Come on a 396 or a 454 would look better in that car .

  • Why would you ruin a perfectly good classic Chevelle like that?

  • @SpprtAssoc right

  • true it costs more. but you burn less of it. so its really a wash to be honest .

  • Love your stump puller! Have a 2005 2500HD Sierra, bone stock 315 hp with 690 lbs ft of torque, simply awesome. horse power is fun to brag about, but does all the work. Would like to install a DuraMax in my '78 GMC II Palm Beach (think STRIPES: EM-50) the original 403 simply doesn't have enough PP & Vinegar to pull the hills and passes of Colorado.

  • thats hella chrome

  • sick

    

  • Just dumb, why do diesel guys insist on trying to make thair barf motors go fast?

    just sayin: 454 + twin turbo = cost half as much burns cheeper gas and will blow this things doors off.

  • @weasel66666 454 tt is about 650hp on the common set up. this a 800hp and it gets 30mpg. plus if u have a tt 454 ur gona have to run high oct fuel that more expensive than diesel and u'll get like 15mpg. plus it not gona be as reliable.

  • @ps3dethman1 dont know where ur livin' but diesel is the most expensive gas at the station where I live.

    more than super unleaded.

  • @weasel66666 upstate n.y diesel is 4.15 and super is 4.20

  • @weasel66666 haha super unleaded... good joke.

  • @ps3dethman1 if you put twin turbos on a diesel, you'll fly through space and time

  • WHY

  • 30 mpg and 1000 hp? Perfect, the economical muscle car. ;)

  • did i just see the most amazing car and engine combined? what is this world coming to!

  • @swss12 no no this is cool and all, but look up Zues Camaro. That thing is sick.

  • what generation duramax?

  • @LastGravestorm for the 1970 model year like this chevelle it would've been advertised as a chevelle SS 454, earlier years were advertised with the 396.

  • Nice build ! Would love to drive it !! That's what u call a muscle car !!!

  • interesting combination, and a truly ridiculous intercooler piping setup but i think i like seeing the old gasoline V8's in these more than diesel engines..

    a twin turbo 632 would be a little more into my interest.

    but still its a spectacular job, it almost looks stock.. lol

  • @dwnrety1 Lmao, I agree except for the fact that in no way does this even remotely resemble stock.

  • @AaronWallace if i had never seen what the original engine bay looked like, and knew adsolutely nothing about cars i would think it was stock..

    i know its not even close to stock though.. a true SS would have a 454 BBC in it with a 4bbl carb and a big air cleaner on top..

  • umm thats fuckin amazing.

  • Dam, I don't like chevy but this is awesome. Haha maybe I'll buy a 7.3 engine and put it in a ford focus

  • @systemisdisturbed I would love to see that.

  • anyon know where i can get this swap down in cali

  • holy shit...is that true twins or twin compounds? either way i think i need to change myself after watchin this...

  • nope, this is for sure it. almost 1,000 HP and 30 mpg.

  • hey!!! wasnt this in Hot Rod mag!!?? or was the one I was thinking of gold...

  • @67mustangreg idk. it was n diesel power several months ago

  • Is there any reason to put a diesel motor into a muscle car? Other then to make it sound like crap because diesel engines sound horrid?

  • @Dartht33bagger cause it makes 1900 lb/ft of torque....

  • @blkdrgn89 Ok it makes a lot of torque and sounds like crap. Woo lol

  • @Dartht33bagger nevermind the fact that it gets 30+ mpg and can still turn out trap speeds in the high 120's....

  • damn that thing is tits

  • Looks like this baby made it to SEMA!

  • That thing looks like a Warp drive! lol and im sure it basically is!!

  • the duramax was designed with the help of isuzu. but the duramax is made in america by chevy

  • @seth1913 Isuzu sells the same engines under isuzu on there website From what i understand Isuzu develops Diesel technology for GM world wide. All the European and south american cars and trucks made by GM house Isuzu engines since Isuzu is GM these days.

  • Thats just,,,,, wrong

  • idont think that car moves on its own power

  • @procharge you would be wrong to think that...

  • awesome

  • FUCK YEAH. Nothing beats the sight of an Isuzu powered chevy. They are the worlds largest diesel maker, so they must be the best. CHEVY PWNS!

  • How much horsepower/torque does it have?

  • @neurocytohemotoxic 1,000+ hp and 2,000hp. I saw it at the Sema show and it said it on the paper thing. 2007.

  • LOVE IT. I am trying to source a diesel for my 69 Blazer.

  • The duramax is made by ISUZU 

  • BEAUTIFAL

  • Now THATS a good idea! Puts a smile to peoples faces.. Hey this sound dosent belong to this car! ;)

  • i seen this car in diesel power andc i have to say sir its a beautiful machine

  • this thing is a beast I havve a video of it leaavin this cars and coffe it kicks asss

  • SEMA car?

  • what is your front end set up like to handle the weight of that motor?

  • Comment removed

  • @raykeens

    you are a shmok or just jealous?

  • @raykeens Its Aluminum and Bare aluminum Cools better than painted aluminum. Why not polish it to make it look good? I don't understand why you have a problem with it. Its simple.

  • @raykeens at least 50 extra horsepower

  • @raykeens No the chrome just makes it look good its the awesome engine and massive turbos that make it faster.

  • Know what gets me? Useless cars that are made up of of chrome, 3000+ lbs of sheet metal, and patriotism. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter where the cars come from. We're all humans here. But, there should be more to it than stuffing a big diesel motor in a car like that. Use some engineering.

  • @Boxcarstar1 You know what gets me? When jackasses like you rant about something with out even doing any research. This beast participated it last years Hot Rod power tour and was going to win except he blew his rear end on the last day. This is a pro touring SS and has 1000hp and 2000ft/lbs, he auto X's it, and it was turning high 120mph trap speeds in the 1/4. Trust me, there is plenty of engineering behind this car.

  • 6.6 litre DURAMAX over 400 cid that has the potential to put over 1000hp to the wheels... this car is putting if im right like 800 hp to the wheels so before you people start bitchin about diesels read a couple issues of diesel power mag.....

  • @FeelTehBa55 NO GM BOUGHT OUT IZUZU YEARS AGO DUMBASS GM TOOK THE DURAMAX AND MODIFIED IT

  • haha sick too much money

  • what the power and torque?

  • thats rewining the car man its a chevelle ss it needs a 454 502 it makes it what it is supposed 20 be not a truck motor ls6 454 all the way thats whay i got in my 72 ss chevelle and durimake arnt forgin motors they just ar bad to put in muslce cars keep them in truck thats were they belong

  • why you all hating? lol

    everyone gets all butt hurt like its their own car.....

    learn a little more about diesels before you start knocking it....

    FYI the Duramaxx is a 6.5 V8 not a 4 cylinder diesel

  • @jblackapple 6.6 but close enough

  • THis car is awsome. Personally, I'll take my 12 valve, seven main bearing cummins instead of a tiny five bearing v8 for all day pulling, but if that car really gets thirty two miles per gallon and has even crankshaft hp in the thousand range I'd have to think about that engine instead of the rat motors i have planned for a chevelle to accompany my big block cuda and firebird formula. To my knowledge, Isuzu and GM have been partners since at least the early seventies

  • Yeah , sorry , MrSherblee , I meant Isuzu . I think it's a great engine.

  • The Durmax is a Mitsu engine. Duh

  • No The duramax diesel is a project that Gm and Izuzu did together. the main signature thing that the duramax has is aluminum heads.Anyone who knows diesels knows that aluminum heads are a no no on diesels because of warpage but gm and izuzu figured out how to make it work to save weight vs. iron heads.

  • mann, fuckin tight

    like mad tight lol

  • The Duramax is a japanese engine. Kinda like if you by a Isuzu ascender the key will unlock any trailblazer or envoys doors and all the parts on the isuzu are stamped gm motorcorp.

  • @blues62 are you having a hard time reading , it is a partnership to build the duramax they built it together so it's gm/isuzu. go back to school. if you guys want to talk shit you should know it , cimmins isn't owned by dodge they only have a contract to install them into dodge trucks and heavy trucks, you act like dodge built cummins. nope seperate company

  • @MrBadass2003 I never said anything about Dodge and Cummins in my comment. And even if it was a collaboration between gm/isuzu. its still a not all GM. Also I'm pretty sure that you maybe older than me but I know way more about diesel engines than you. I rebuilt my first diesel engine at the age of 12 all with no help what so ever. It was a 270 cummins in a 1968 White/ Freightliner Cabover. I built it up to a 350, and added a second turbo to it. 8 years later it still runs every day.

  • WTF

    what a BIG, BIG BIG BIG BIG ass engine... I love it, any videos of this beauty accelerating or sth?

  • I read about this car in a muscle car magazine, it's a pretty amazing rig, has forged internals and such just like you guys said 1000 hp and I think like 1900 lbs ft of torque. Burns bio diesel and gets 32 mpg.

  • the best of both world

  • not bad but why put a fucking duramax in it?

    a 4bta cummins would get better mileage AND sound better

  • 4bt cummins is a steel block, and the internals are only capable of 350hp. Yes mileage would be amazing, but this rig has 1000hp and 2000 ft lbs, something a 4bt is not capable of doing.

    and the duramax block, believe it or not, is lighter than than the 4bt

  • well you are right but i don't think this thing is 1000 hp because the max hp you can get

    in a regular diesel truck is 950 and that will

    just destroy the rest of the transmission components and everything else

    and besides 350hp is quite alot of power

    the 93 dodge diesel p/u's had 195 hp I think

    they are not what one would consider a

    truck that you would modify to get 300+hp although I have seen it done

  • if you've got the money to build this, you've got the money to build the transmission and output shaft to handle 1000hp, there are some 1100+hp d-maxes and 1300hp cummins trucks that are street driven

  • yeah i will agree with you there

  • yeah even it is close to "1000hp and 2000 ft lbs,"

    having it in a car is kinda pointless

  • Maybe for driving, but no doubt its going to be damn fun! whats the point of putting a heavy diesel into a car? obviously not to autocross it, but they did that too!

  • yeah it would be fun

  • @iCummins03 well then it's also pointless to have 900-1000 hp in a diesel mounted in a light duty truck, your never use all that power, can under stand if it was in a semi or something, but thats not the point it,s just for fun i under stand and thats why he did it for fun, just give him some damn credit, what you guys can't appreciate someones accomplishments

  • @MrBadass2003

    I actually do find it pointless to have 900-1000 hp in a light duty truck

    and I do agree about doing it for fun and I do congratulate them when I see a nice truck

  • @Rabiesthecat maybe but last time i checked the duramax made more power then the cummins and the purpose is to make it a sick ass sleeper, just imagine rolling up in a chevelle pulling a trl next to a 09 dodge cummins and smokin his ass, now thats funny

  • @MrBadass2003

    since when did duramax make more power than Cummins?

    Cummins is in semis, tractors, mining trucks, you don't see a duramax in those because its too damn small

    and although it would be funny to see that it is absolutely pointless

  • @Rabiesthecat well if were comparing the two to just light duty trucks the duramax is more power full and at least gm has there hand into building the duramax and dodge and ford have to hire other companies to build it for them, and it's no more pointless to see that then driving around town in a dodge that has 900hp with 1500lb tq you ain't ever going to use all that power but who cares it fun i love fun and radical builds but if i see a cool ford or dodge i don't trash them i congrats them

  • @Rabiesthecat you realize cummins make more than one engine right?

  • @osp80

    yes I do know they make other engines

  • @Rabiesthecat yeah true but a duramax is probably better for racing

  • @Rabiesthecat yeah,nothing like the sound of a rattly 4 cylinder...

  • @Rabiesthecat because dodges = PUSSY

  • @rollcagerooster

    Cummins isn't even Dodges engine you retarded dumb fuck

  • @Rabiesthecat but dodge runs it retard

  • @RacerDude96

    not they don't

    cummins runs cummins

    international/freightliner/kw/­ford/dodge they all partnered up to use the cummins diesel

  • @Rabiesthecat ur fuckin dumb lol i own a freightliner it runs a cat

  • @RacerDude96

    not every freightliner runs cummins only in some models

    same with dodge and EVERY OTHER BRAND I MENTIONED!!!!!

    not to mention Case and several other companies run Cummins Engines

  • @Rabiesthecat--- yea it is u retartded dumb fuck...chevy had duramax, ford has powerstroke, and dodge has cummins

  • @Therebeldeerhunter

    Thats not exactly how I meant it dip shit

    Dodge doesn't own Cummins in ANY way, they just have a contract with Cummins.

    Same with GM/D-Max and Ford/PSD

  • @Therebeldeerhunter thats true

  • @Rabiesthecat yea but it rapes the DMAX which isn't even chevys engine its Isuzu's ;-)

  • @rollcagerooster bullshit tell ME WHY? dumbass

  • Comment removed

  • sick

  • Anyways, the old Detroit Diesel 92 series 2 stroke wasn't too bad of an engine in my opinion... just needed a lil bit of tlc to remedy fluid leakage. They were quite the powerhouses in my opinion as the HEMMTs weighed anywhere from about 30 to 50 tons (depending on the varient... whether it was a fueler truck or wrecker, ect, ect) and when you floored one of those things, they would haul ass pretty damn well. Anyways, plz hit me back up with some info and/or feedback k.

  • @catman10121988 I mean, they were COMPLETE junk in my opinion... or at least the naturally aspirated ones that were older were... the newer ones that were turbocharged weren't half bad, though... but I still think that either a 6.6 Duramax, Cummins B series, or even an International Powerstroke 7.3L would have been better choices than the damn 6.2 and/or 6.5L Detroit Diesel engines that also wore the GM badge (older ones). The newer ones(w/ turbocharger) I think had the AM General badge, I thnk

  • @catman10121988 lol, I remember EVERY damn time it got cold, the damn HEMMTs would ALWAYS have damn coolant leaks... that was mostly because of cheap hoses, though... and alot of them were old... some as old as 1983. I know that doesn't seem very old, but the US military is pretty damn hard on equipment anyways as an unspoken rule lol. Now the older humvees had the crappy 6.2 and 6.5L naturally aspirated and indirect injected V8 diesels that in my opinion were JUNK... and they wore the DD badge.

  • @catman10121988 And that old 92 series that I'm describing had GM stamped on it in quite a variety of places, including the valve covers... hence why I assumed that GM still made Detroit Diesel... and yes, I know that DD's leak... but back at the motorpool we mostly had coolant issues with hoses more so than oil from the crank case... If you use enough Permatex, you can generally remedy the oil leakage problem... or at least that was the case in my experience.

  • @catman10121988 I mean, they already used a mercedes engine in either most or all of the Freightliner Sprinter vans as well as the Mercedes and Dodge sprinter vans... which are all essentially the same vehicle, just with different badges on the grills and interiors/exteriors. Btw, I didn't know that Detroit Diesel was no longer owned, operated and made by GM because the last one I had seen was in a HEMMT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) that had an old 2 cycle 92 w/ turbo n supercharger.

  • @catman10121988 Furthermore, most Kenworth trucks I've seen have Cummins engines in them... and most Peterbilt trucks have Cat engines... however I read in Diesel Power Magazine that Cat is discontinuing their on-highway engine division... however I can't recall when they're supposed to be doing this. Another thing... does Daimler Benz still either own or are merged with Freightliner? I ask this because In this case I'm curious why they wouldn't just use a Mercedes diesel for the bigger trucks.

  • @catman10121988 Oh, and another thing I was wondering... to my understanding one used to be able to order a class 8 truck with any engine and transmission of their choice. I'm guessing this is still true as I've seen Peterbilt trucks with Cat engines strapped to Eaton Transmissions and Stewert&Stevenson trucks (the newer Military 2.5 and 5 ton cab overs) with Cat engines strapped to Allison Transmissions... I've also seen Cummins engines in Volvo trucks...

  • @catman10121988 Another thing I would like to know is when Peterbilt and Kenworth merged to Paccar? I was completally ignorant of this until you informed me of it. Could you send a link with information regarding the merger as well as the Ohio Dmax plant? Or do you happen to know of an online encyclopedia similar to wikipedia, but with set in stone facts that aren't changed and updated by just anyone? lol I could just KGB everything, but I don't feel like paying a buck every time I'm curious.

  • @catman10121988 Okay, well, first off I'm gunna let u know that Its not my intent to get into an oline pissing match over this... I was just curious and inquiring, not trying to argue. Anyways, are the Dmax engines made 100% there? Or are they just assembled there from imported components? I'm guessing that the Bosch CP3 injection pumps and injectors are imported... as Bosch is a German based company, but i believe they have some plants in America... one in Chicago, I think.

  • @catman10121988 Are you sure? Because a fair deal of my friends that come from Detroit and worked/work for GM have told me that its made by Isuzu and that the first Dmax engines even had Isuzu stamped on the valve covers. It wouldn't make sense to me that GM would have another diesel plant just for the Duramax, because they already own and operate Detroit Diesel... wonder why they didn't just make a smaller version of the Detroit 92 series? That would have made more sense if u ask me.

  • @coalroller89 actually GM don't own DD anymore the dumb asses sold it to Daimler Crysler, back in 2000/2001 but your right if they still had it they wouldv'e probably just made a smaller version of the D60 that would be one sick ass diesel cause DD has been making diesels since the 1920 so they have tons of experience. i pretty much consider the Dmax GM's baby cause Isuzu has been apart of GM since the 70's

  • duramax is part of isuzu. if you were a real chevyman you would have know that. you dont have to take my word for it look it up

  • isuzu actually designed the first two duramax's lly and lb7 gm cut off all ties with isuzu in 2005 and duramax's are made in montain, OH

  • i'm a ford fan and i knew that

  • @bigjimmy0922 well powerstroke isn't part of Ford just a hired company to buid there crappy engines, and cummins isn't part of dodge just a hired company to install engines in there trucks but you don't have to take my word just ask

  • amazing car.. this is what we are all going to be doing when we run out of gas lol

  • i am so crazy about this car even for i duramax i first saw it in diesel power and since then have just been amazed by it

  • really nice car

  • Thats one of the most badass cars i've seen in a long time. I want to see it in action!

  • yeah i cant wait to hear the numbers from this car, the parallel Garretts are bad ass!

  • 950 hp, 1,800 ft lbs...thats what $250,000 gets you right there

  • I love it when people go and do something completely out of the ordinary. This is awesome, get some vids of this thing pouring out the smoke. Awesome car man.

  • caterpillar engines are also thrown in a lot fo the real big trucks that gm makes we have a gmc top kick 1991 that we use for sand and salting with in the winter and it has a caterpillar engine in it beast truck

  • I think I just saw your car in Popular Hot Rodding this month

  • Isuzu does not build the duramax anymore..cat has been building them since mid 06.... so now it is a true u.s. built motor.

  • Uhhh yea Isuzu makes the Duramax Diesel.

  • Why are you guys still spouting this crap. Izusu does not make these engines. Designed in conjuction with GM yes.

  • Why would you put a Japanese engine in a classic GM. Fuckin gay

  • Who said it's a Japanese engine?

    It's a duramax from a Silverado/savana.

    If it was japanese, you're right it would be super gay.

  • are you sure the duramax are also call suzies ?

  • What is a Suzie?

  • @dieguen65

    suzie= suzuki

  • @lesterclaypool1 its designed by Isuzu

  • @lukeshytalker02 well that makes more sence ,,,, some times theres good reasons for thing and some times ???????

  • @dieguen65 The duramax is an isuzu motor.

  • @dieguen65 Duramaxx is an Isuzu engine....

  • MG42pillbox, get your facts straight before you start this hate shit again.

  • @MG42pillbox don't be mad cause that thing could woop your dumb ass 3times over, get a life , gm helped build that engine too so know your shit or shut the fuck up

  • @MG42pillbox U SHOULD BE MEDICATED UR FUCKIN DUM AS FUCK

  • @MG42pillbox ur fuckin dum!

  • @MG42pillbox  Know what's fuckin gay? 7mpg.

  • @MG42pillbox it is a rice burner made my izuzu or komatsu i cant remember which

  • wonder how long it took him just to reinforce the frame to hold that much torque dang

  • you really do not have to. The 65 impala that Pimp my ride did, They did not reinforce the frame, and it had 800 on only 1 turbo not twined.

  • whole new Chassis,,,Art Morrison.

    The clip of the circuit race doesnt do it justice,,, not built for that sort of thing,,,

    Aparently,,, good for 10's,,,

  • bad fukin asss!

  • lol wat?

  • that bitch is so sick.

    motor is insanely clean

  • possible the coolest thing ever

  • Yes its awesome,

    i met him in a meeting in orange county california , in the new storage of OPG, maybe you can call them and they will tell you how to reach him, good luck.

    And keep me inform with your project.

  • dieguen65, wish you had an email for this guy. I have a 68 GTO (as per the name oh and a 2006 GTO also) with a dead powerplant and this exact setup is what I'm looking for. Banks is running something similar in there S-10 so some of the parts are available. Serious cash though. But as the Dmax gets older, more parts will be on hand. I also like the Cummins but for something like this, it's just too heavy.

  • And how many horsepower???

  • THIS IS ONE SICK RIDE! Hov many horsepower? Torq???

  • 2000 LB +/-

  • this was filmed in the new opg store in california.

  • Dude i would pay to see that seriously. NICE!

  • Thats frikin awesome. i want to do the same thing but with an old chevy truck
