Duramax/Allison into a 70's muscle car

[Rick Henderson]

Has anyone stuffed a 2003 LB7 into a car? I have seen other diesel conversions, but am interested in putting one into 1971 Buick Skylark.

I suppose there are many things to consider, and would appreciate input. I understand that a Turbo 400 could bolt up to the motor, but an Allison would be better, especially a 6 speed.

My thoughts are to take a donor truck and move all wiring and electronics over to use in the vehicle. More of a modern muscle car. I am not worried as to cutting up my Skylark for the Allison to fit, and even the Duramax to work.

I wouldn't have ABS braking unless that has to be used to make the system function. Input again would be helpful.

Thanks

Yes.... There's been a 1965 Chevy Impala, 1970 Chevelle, a Ford Mustang, and a 1986 Buick Grand National clone - all running a D/A.
