C20 Diesel

i dont have one, but think about it all the time.

how cool would it be to put one of those hot banks twin turbo'd diesels backed with a 6 speed standard tranny, in a C20.

you'd never kill it, and you can get some serious performance out of those engines. I've seen built cummins' in dodge trucks smoke corvettes and stuff at the track, and those are new and WAY heavier then our old trucks. cool.

anybody done it?

lets see some pics or videos.

Re: C20 Diesel

Not a Cummins, but I love this truck. It's got an old 3-53 superchared Detriot.

Re: C20 Diesel

if you do a search, you'll see this has come up every couple months for the last 2 or 3 years... there's another thread going on right now elsewhere (engine and drivetrain IIRC) about this.

Re: C20 Diesel

I got a baby Cummins in my C20...............Love it and its a real conversation piece. Now if I could just find the time to tear it back apart and do body work and paint I'd really have something.
