  • We've shot with Alex twice before but this Chevelle he brought over is completely insane! Twin turbo Duramax diesel in a 70 Chevelle making 1100 ft lbs of torque could possibly break things and it did during this shoot...

    Insane sound! If he can get a rear diff to handle the torque (and hopefully a driveshaft loop) it'd be a blast to see 0-60 and 1/4m results.

In hindsight i would have built motor for HP so that i could get traction torque comes with HP and on a street car i didn’t need gobs of torque below 3500rpm. But very cool build

    In my younger years, i used to be a huge muscle car fan. As I’ve matured and have increased work and home responsibilities, I’m a dieselhead for sure. These diesels of today and the last 25 or so years are my new muscle cars. To drive a 4000 car at 12’s down the track is fun, make that happen in a 7500 pound diesel truck. That there is a rush! That said, this is a sweet ride, I’d be proud to have something like this in my stable of oil burners. 🇺🇸👊🏻👍🏻
