Hey guys! Well my brother and his friend are putting a duramax engine in a 1950's chrysler and i thought id share the progress thus far. So here are the pics he has from his cell phone and i will update as more gets done. The motor setup is a LB7 with a 6 speed allison transmission. Going to most likely have a single 5'' side pipe with a kick out at the end.

some of them go over 1000 ftlbs tq.
it all depends on what model he go that duramax from. the 1500,2500 or 3500.

ummm, no.
1st off, 1500's dont have duramax's
2nd, the Duramax is the exact same engine in 2500's/3500's/large trucks, which makes 600ish ft/lbs

i was under the impression the fueling setup is quite a bit different betweem the two.
as well as the oil setup.
