7.3 turbo diesel in a 68, Crazy or not? Just a thought........

[skip68]

I've often thought about putting a turbo diesel in a charger.  Maybe I'm nuts, but it would get killer MPG and tons of torque. Don't kill me, it has just been a thought..................

I'll have whatever you're having...

Your ride, do whatever makes you happy.  Was this a poll, were do I vote for "crazy"?   

[694spdRT]

Those are a little on the heavy side aren't they. I would rather put a Cummins in there sideways first.

Maybe I'm nuts

Not really serious, just a crazy thought.  I would never do that to my car but I thought about doing it to a rust bucket or Hlpag car...P.S. if we determin that I am crazy,  don't tell anyone.

[Ghoste]

Let him keep the bong Andy, just put down the wrenches.

Where did I put those chocolate bars?

[MyMopar]

The nut house called, said they were missing a crazy, I told them he was here on the Charger Board

[andy74]

Help me Andy! I'm going down man

i get some bad ideas when i drink to much beer,just dont act on it and we will never tell!

[haueter66]

Now what would be cool is dropping one in an old powerwagon!

Hey don't laugh,I've heard  that somebody has a diesel dragster that does 190 mph.As far as a Cummins in a B-body,send me pictures when you get it done.

[Mopar2Ya]

I'm not sure about the diesel idea, maybe a twin turbo cummins ho. How about a hybrid Charger for those that like muscle but want to hug trees? My idea of a hybrid: an iron Hemi backed by an aluminum Hemi??

It would never fit. And its a 7.3 powerstroker at that.

Sure, it's nuts, but who cares?  Do it if you want.  Just don't cut it up

[Ghoste]

Put a four wheel drive chassis under it if you do.

No way guy's,  I've just found the perfect place for it Charger Punk and I need to work together....Take his Charger station wagon, put my 7.3 turbo diesel in it and then go to the track and take down all who dare to take on the---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHARGEWAGON TURBO------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------     Chuck.

See Andy, it's not the bong.  These guys have found some of the brown stuff from Woodstock.
Seriously though, it would make for an interesting hot rod project.  It'd be a boring hobby if all we did was try to over-restore cars to original or chnage them into GL's.

thanks skip, and if you have any crazy ideas-how about a neon srt4 power plant in a dart body?that would be neat,oops,i spilled my beer again

[skip68]

  No more crazy ideas today, if I think of another I'll let you know

[is_it_EVER_done?]

I really hate to say it, but I LIKE it! It's hard to devise a unique idea nowdays, but I think it's safe to say you have done it. 

[Arthu®]

I dunno about a B-body but the new 4.0 twin turbo diesel V8 by Audi should fit very nicely in an A-body. Maybe you could even make it a quattro that would be nice.
