alternative fuel E85 maybe?
of heck with it just put in the Duramax Diesel with a few HP modifires.
The available Duramax Diesel 6.6L V8 Turbo engine features:
- 365 horsepower @ 3200 rpm
- 660 lb.-ft. of torque @ 1600 rpm
- Class-leading diesel horsepower and overall torque
- B5 biodiesel compatibility
I have this in my pick up. Does a darn fine job of hauling the race trailer. |
Ok. O.T.
I will preface this with; this thread is about homologated GT-1 engines being utilized as P-1 engines.
That being said; If GM decided to go down the diesel path (highly possible) they would not use the 6.6L out of your P/U. Once again it is rumored that the Tonawanda plants future engine programs have been put on the chopping block. This is where the new Duramax HO line was to be developed for GM which was rumored to include both a 4.5L HO and 5.5L HO V8 in the program. I would have thought that if they decided to go diesel they would have/will choose the 5.5L HO V8 as their weapon of choice but....
L.P.
