I looked at that a while ago if you realy think about the dementions of our engines or even the duricrap i dont think it would fit without one very low profile oil pan and it would still be pushing it plus dont you think you would see a litlte black smoke ?? Also if you did all that work and it would be ALLOT of work wouldnt you pop the hood and hsow it off. Looks to me like they just spliced in the sound. but you never know and it is a very cool clip iether way

There is a guy here who has put a cummins into his vette. It is not quite running yet, but should be within the next couple of months.

I agree with Kenny. That car is really low profile and they weren't proud of it enough to open the hood.

Could there be anything more stupid to be proud of than just brake torquing it till the tires are gone? . Let's see how it does off the line or something. (supposedly) all that work to install a Cummins and the most important thing to show is boiling the tires without moving. Sheesh.

Don't know about that one but this one looks pretty legit.

Nice. Never thought about how good fuel mileage with a lighter vehicle. Drop a Cummins in a Corvette could probably get away w/ only 5th and 6th gear. ha ha ha

That white vette does not have a Cummins in it. There had long been a debate about it. The guys that posted it, 1320 video are jerks and I've called them out several times and they neither confirm nor deny it has a CTD under the hood. They just say a bunch of vulgar stuff and tell me to do something to myself. So that right there is evidence enough. I could see a vette getting one in it, but not without a bit of a bubble hood or something to give it more room, not just dropping it down as far as it can go.

Yeah its a fake. I don't see a duramax fitting in there very well without some hood modifications or a Cummins for that matter.

Go out to your truck and measure the height of your diesel engine and then tell me it will fit in a corvette whos top of the hood is what, 2-1/2 feet off the ground.

they mustve REALLY milled the head and block down to fit it in *rolls eyes*

They just parked over a hole in the ground and the oil pan is sitting down in it. The car never moves.
