you can put that same diesel v-8 with the SS suspension and call it a day.

TYPICAL diesels are heavy as balls. but this one is a lot different from anything you or I have ever seen.


and it does get hard to pass emissions..... for ANY motor these days. but id pay a little bit more to pass emissions to get the power AND mpg that this motor would give in a midsize car or truck.
You can also just slap on twin turbos onto the V6 with the SS supension and call it a day. The difference is that it will still wiegh lighter and can be tune to make waaaaaay more HP, and it will probaly be cheaper. A win, win scenario.
