What do you guys think? From a link in this site was a page about a 3rd gen averaging between two runs 300mph. I can't remember his setup but to me that sounds pretty sick, and absolutely something worth trying.
Obviously in the salt flats, obviously in a car designed for nothing else but safety at its maximum speed. (Obviously not in a v6 engine platform lol.)
I love diesel, and I've been playing with this idea for awhile, and I always wondered what it'd be like to try and fit a Duramax, or a International 6.0 in that tiny (width wise) engine bay. Of course, lots of cutting, welding, and restructuring of front coil-over towers would be needed. Plus a new weight support design up front and probably throughout, and then there's the turbo fitment, because either engine is too tall too, so you could run turbo(s) setup in the passenger seat area, with of course the kevlar clothe protection in case of a fracturing housing.
Aside from all that, would it not be something to remember getting passed by a diesel f-body?
Idk about internationals, but the Duramax's are a proven platform for building insane torque, since my snap-on dude has a 800hp, 1500ft/lb torque pulling truck pushing 78psi turbo pressure and all that other fun stuff. Plus theres the ability to tap into propane, for more energy..........
I know, sounds stupid, and I am BY NO MEANS SAYING I'M STARTING THIS PROJECT ANY TIME SOON.
I just feel like sharing an idea I've been toying with for awhile.
