What do you all think if i were to put the biggest diesel engine chevy makes in a 3rd gen camaro......all i know is that it would be different

 

You'd better get yourself a hell of a roll cage and subframe connectors, a 12 bolt rear, or a ford 9" and an allison transmission. Hell, while you're at it, forget the subframe connectors, get yourself a truck chasis. I think the late 70's C series had a chasis that'll work nicely, and give it a transfer case and another drive axle, throw some 30 inch tires on there, and get some insanely high gears.[/align][/align]If you can't do all that, I'd say don't bother, cause that's the only way it'll be worth it.[/align]

 

yeah and if you have that much money to spend, then just put into a stroker motor and go faster then you could with that diesel.

 

Put a real diesel in, like a Detroit diesel or a Volvo diesel (if you want an import). Won't even need a transmission, just a big clutch and a 1:3 rear. lol

VolvoPower D16:
I-6, 5.67" bore x 6.5" stroke, 16:1 compression, SHOC 4 valves per cylinder
16 L turbocharged, up to 600HP @ 2200 RPM and 2,050 lb-ft of torque@ 1200 RPM

Detroit Diesel Series 60:
I-6, 5.17" bore x 6.61" stroke. 17:1 compression
14 L turbocharged, up to 516 HP @ 1800 RPM and 1,650 lb-ft of torque @1100 RPM

 

I think it would be a great idea. I would love to see it, my dad and I have discussed the same idea well in to a box of beer...

 

Is it for ****s and giggles or functionability for long term?

 

Im not sure, As far as i know no other camaro out there has one in it, its kinda a ****s and giggles thing but its also a long term thing
i found a hood, tail lights and a bodykit i want
i signed up for trim to do the inside of my car too (im at wyotech right now)

 

be one hell of a mudding car, one of a kind, thats for sure.

 

I was telling my dad about it lastnight and his eyes light up as ifI just bought him a Mackzimizer tool box loaded. He got all excited and was thinking out loud, kinda scary. It started with a "how 'bout an 18 wheeler motor..."

 

18 wheeler... pretty sure your gona have some major clearance issues with something like that... but that also, would be a cool thing to see.

go for broke and put a locomotive deisel in it...
