This Chevelle is powered by a 403ci V8 Duramax diesel engine backed
by a 5-speed automatic transmission. 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 jumps to an
eye-popping number. To make space for the drive accessories,
radiator, intercooler, air conditioning 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 cutting-edge
technology does not stop at the engine. An Art Morrison front clip
complete with C5 Corvette aluminum suspension components was
infused into the Chevelle, and Fast Eddie's of Orange, CA,
installed the custom 4-link rear setup. Putting the power to the
pavement is a narrowed Ford 9-inch rear end and big tubs to
accommodate the 22-inch-wide Mickey Thompson radial tires.
Equipment includes custom intake manifold, custom Ram Air scoop,
PPE dual fuel pumps, custom fuel cell, nitrous system, custom
Bassani exhaust, Ron Davis radiator, dual electric fans, PPE-built
Allison automatic transmission, ATS stall converter, rack & pinion
steering, KONI coilover shocks, Wilwood brakes, RECARO seats and an
Alpine stereo.
