Local Motors- Rally Fighter Clean Diesel Engine

[joffeloff]

Why not go for the Duramax when you've changed to the GM bell house circle anyway?

@joffeloff Too heavy, not enough horses for the performance envelope. We've switched to a LS3, comparable performance. ~Giovani

@localmotors well, that sucks. Wish you had stuck with a diesel. :(

@joffeloff Should we get a comparable smaller diesel that has a good parts ecosystem, and the demand is there, we'll meet it. We're smaller, so we can make changes faster too. ~Giovani

[joffeloff]

@localmotors sounds good! with GM bringing a smaller diesel in both the Cruze and Cadillac ATS, and Mazda bringing their excellent Skyactiv-D to America, there might be opportunities there.

[krnekej2000]

what is the weight of this engine?

[localmotors]

@krnekej2000 We switched to a LS3, which is 415 lbs. ~Giovani
