1981 Olds Cutless + 1982 Regal + 6.6 liters of LB7 Duramax diesel power

With 6.6 liters of Duramax diesel power residing where a turbo'd six-banger should be, David Morad's diesel GN makes more power and gets better fuel economy than the original ever did. The smoothed firewall and custom inner fenders also create the illusion that the engine is floating in a sea of black. Neat.

the guy above had to use cars that were originally diesel, did your neighbor have to do the same?

[slostang]

nice find!

i saw an f-150 with the 5.9L cummins swapped in it.

A GNX is one of my dream cars. My dad says once he retires that's going to be the last car he buys. lol

he put his motor in a gnx. theyre a ton of fun to ride in, hes just never let me drive it. it doesnt look as nice as the one you posted but im sure brents is just as quick.

[FasTech]

That's one of my dream cars, very sexy!

[osnap]

thats NASTY.

Um???? was this a "REAL" GNX or a black Grand National. Cause GNX was a Mclaren/G.M. car made only in 1987 and 547 were ever made. Some still sell for over 100K, i really doubt it is a GNX. Go look it is prolly a G.N. or a T Type. Otherwise your neighbor threw tens of thousands of dollers down the toilet.

#359 Ebay buy now was $109,000 (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/29/ebay-find-of-the-day-1987-buick-gnx-359-9-9-miles-on-the-odo/)

[EJ25RUN]

thats NASTY.

is that good or bad nasty?

[Revmaynard]

Yea, your neighbor probably used a T-Type or a regular Grand National/Regal. Some came with shtty NA motors, so I could see what he did as being useful lol.

[yogi08]

some reason my post isnt showing up now? anywho hes got a grand national... i thought his was a gnx for some reason. brent has a 920whp cummings 2500 truck he daily drives and has the exact same setup in his grand national... when they crank up idk which one is which haha. he trailors the grand national too, with his 2500.

[JITB]

i always wondered why we dont see more diesel swapped muscle cars..

it would be cool and i hope more people start to do it but i'd much rather have a 572 in my Chevy. On the side of the GNX/GN/T-TYPE, yeah that 3.8L over a diesel too. But only because that was a great setup.
