My friend was telling me about this! I was disgusted but intrigued. Thats the same motor as RacerX's truck, something like 600+ lbs. of torque. I'm now impressed, it's in a diesel truck magazine on the stands right now.

That motor in Greg's truck: F'ing nice.

That motor in a Buick: Begging for a punch in the throat.

Techically it's a diesel Cutlass just made to look like a Buick.  So a real GN was not sacrificed.

I read the article and I was impressed at his determination.  He lives very near me. I have seen that car two or three times on the street and once at Irwindale Speedway.

He has a good sized thread over at TB.kom in the Suspension Section.

Man what kind of work would you have to do to make that fit in there and work out right?  I am glad that they didnt sacrafice a GN for this and i actually think that i would like to drive it.
