Diesel Motor in an Fbody?

[phoenix_rising]

Thanks everyone whos not dogging on me for wanting to do something good for our planet's and our children's future. It would be a challenge but it be cool to say that I have the most eco-friendly fbody in the world and it runs on fuel I can get for free from restaurants!

just buy a horse and hook it up to your car and pull it everywere lol become omish j/k it would be kinda cool once they get it better developed.

LOL! The Amish are so cool! With their hats and buggies. Those buggies are damn fast!!! I tried getting a picture of one but they move so fast they blur as they go past. One horsepower baby! Yeah!

i dont think anyone thinks your intentions are bad. its just that in reality you are looking at a HUGE pita, only to save .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the environment.

But isn't that a start? I mean how does it make sense not to? I would feel honored to know that something I was part of had positive global impact. Its one thing to do something for yourself. Its another thing to do it for someone else. I mean isn't that the point?

And your point is...?

That would be like me saying you couldn't reply to him because you're friends and you're in jazz band together. Doesn't make much sense.

im thinking you should find an already diesel vechical the cost and changeover is going to cost far to much and with a the 3.8 your already getting decent gas millage for a gas vehical...you could pick up a old chevy diesel truck ive seen a few converted to bio diesel... guy just drove from resturant to resturant taking the old frying oil... but you still need a new quick release fuel filter... probably some kinda heated tank being we are in michigan for winters that stuff will start to harden up...nothing major motor wise to run it... ill drive behind you if you smell like french fires...

ill drive behind you if you smell like french fires...

So would I! I love french fries! If you were to get the grease from Wendy's or Arby's, which are my favorite fries, I will retract all previous statements about how stupid this idea was. . . lol

I love my car and I love the enviroment. But the two don't go so well together. One thing I have been following is the idea of Biodiesel fuel. Its like cooking oil that is filtered. Well anyway I was thinking... What are the possiblilties of installing a diesel motor in an fbody for the purpose of running biodiesel? Has this ever been done before? Anyone want to try?

I can't believe anyone would even think about this.
Why would you want a diesel in a fbody?
If you must have a diesel go buy a truck or a Volkswagon.

...Also all of the scientific journals I've read say that biodiesal is very efficient and the only byproducts are a popcorn smell. ....

I like your idea of making an enviro-friendly F-body, but only if it still has POWER. ......buut biodiesal need to advance a little more before i'd put one in a f-body.

And no offence but i dont think "a popcorn smell" is a real byproduct. lol

if you think it makes sense, thats all that matters. I definitely dont.

Well feel happy you have an OBD system and/or a catalytic converter. lol
