**** THIS VEHICLE WILL BE OFFERED FOR AUCTION AT THE
BARRETT-JACKSON SCOTTSDALE CLASSIC & COLLECTOR CAR AUCTION - MARCH
20 - MARCH 27, 2021 **** Making close to 1,000 horsepower and 2,000
lb.-ft of torque this Duramax diesel-powered Chevelle (it is titled
as a 1972 model - 1970 exterior parts) puts gasoline big-blocks to
shame. Despite such staggering figures, the engine combo is
surprisingly simple. Other than a set of Carrillo steel rods, the
short block is completely stock. The only other major modifications
are a set of CNC-ported factory 32-valve heads, upgraded twin
turbos cranked to 30 psi, and a bigger solid-roller cam. With the
nitrous engaged the horsepower numbers jump to an eye-popping 1,200
horsepower! The Chevelle even knocks down 32 mpg! To make space for
the drive accessories, radiator, intercooler, A/C condenser and
turbo piping the engine had to be moved back 8 inches from the
stock location. This work, along with custom brackets and pulleys
compress this monstrous power plant under the stock GM hood. The
factory Duramax injection pumps are driven off the crank while a
second pump was added to help pressurize the fuel rails to meet the
increased fuel demands of the setup. Bassani Exhaust fabricated a
one-off custom exhaust system for the Chevelle which makes all the
right sounds. The cutting-edge technology does not stop at the
engine. A modernized Art Morrison front clip, complete with C5
Corvette aluminum suspension components was infused into the
Chevelle and Fast Eddie's of Orange, California installed the
custom four-link rear set up. Putting the power to the pavement is
a narrowed Ford 9 rearend and big tubs to accommodate the
gargantuan 22 wide Mickey Thompson radial tires. An extensive
equipment list below details the incredible features of this
professionally built custom. Numbers printed on paper is one thing,
and the visceral sensation of driving a diesel-powered hot rod is
another thing entirely. The Chevelle diesel experience is very
different from anything else out there. Even without any mufflers
the engine is very quiet and sounds just like a stock Chevy truck
at idle. When you get on the gas the engine quiets down further as
it builds immense boost. The Duramax only turns 4,200 rpms, so the
power hits REAL hard. Once you feel the thrust a diesel makes,
you'll never go back to gas! With a driving experience unlike any
other, this incredible custom Chevelle proves there is no disputing
that diesels aren't just for trucks anymore! Stock Number: CCJL3001
