I am starting to wonder in some of the threads in this forum are jokes or something. I am not trying to be mean...but seriously? Convert and LS3 to Diesel? Why would you do that?

i saw a video once of a c5 vette that had a diesel conversion

In short NO. It is impossible to make your stock LS3 run on diesel. However anything is possible with the right amount of money. A full motor swap is the only way to go

So would it be Vin diesil?

Oh lord I am sorry but I had to do that!

Ok.. so... that's a Twin Turbo Supercharged Diesel engine?

I knew that.. it was more of the actually seeing a picture of Twin Turbos and a Super Charger that got me.

I don't get it. Even with the torque...wouldn't is sound like A$$? Even for drag applications, I could not have my car pull up to the line sounding like a truck stop. If I'm going to put $$ into the car for the drag strip, it's gonna roar like most unleaded gasoline engines do. If you are trying to maximze the hook-up, use the money on the current setup. There's all kinds of aftermarket goodies out there for that. Sorry, JMO.

Maybe he has access to free french fry oil and wants to go the biodiesel route.
