[Vwdiesel] 65 Impala SS Duramax

[mikitka]

Well I watched the show.  They sure do throw some money into those vehicles.
That paint job looked great.  Here is what they did, stuffed the new Duramax
and Allison transmission into the Impala, had to cut the firewall and floor
tunnel out to fit it. The engine put out 800hp and 1400lbft of torque. Does
3.5 second 0-60, got 25mpg on B100.  That shows technology is there we just
need to implement it. That car probably now weights in at 4200lbs easy with
that engine and tranny in it.  Arnold Schwarzenegger was in the show also to
show what can be done to promote biofuels and break the habit of fossil
fuels. They even explained some on how biodiesel is made from canola seeds
to the tank. The owner of the car got a years free supply of B100 as well.
They ran it against a Ferrari and it smoked it. There seemed to be room
under the hood as well. The intercooler fit nicely in front of the radiator.
