CRD Diesel's

I'm mearly throwing out ideas and options at the moment. I understand that by having an older musclecar that fuel economy etc goes out the window, believe me I've been around them my whole life. But If I was contimplating a conversion I'd sacrifice some power for a more fuel efficient vehicle, in saying that I'd want that car to be my A bodie as opposed to a honda civic (like the old days when the cars were driven daily).

If I could make my car into a everyday car instead of just a w/e car the money spent is much more justifiable and would take that sacrifice in power (however would probably out gun a lot of cars anyway), + get to enjoy the looks of the old school muscle, the economy of a modern car and the cost of one set of rego, and insurance as opposed to insuring two vehicles and registering two and the running costs of both.

And like you mention no one has really tackled that conversion meaning a lot of your own R&D is required and fabrication.

Just thought I'd see if anyone had contimplated the idea.


The hemi however has a lot going for it as the conversion has been done, parts required to do the conversion are readily available off the shelf, it does suffers in the fuel economy issue however is more fuel efficient and reliable then a period correct motor for the 340-350hp you are getting.

So I understand fuel economy and power don't go hand in hand, but Am trying to find a happy medium as I want to drive the car as much as possible. Not just a w/e warrior.
