    Default Looks like another oridinary Buick GNX........Black smoke???

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

    Diesel Power Article on David Morad's diesel beast




    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?

    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.

    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

    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.
