that model vette is a poor example of vettes... probably a 79 or so...
and vette people aside from total purists, that is, would welcome any improvement to that vintage vette. as long as a ford motor is not installed.
I say that keeping it all GM would actually thrill the average vette head.
the 6.5 is not THAT much heavier than the small block chevy... in 79 the original power plant had around 150HP and less torque, so I am sure it's an improvement from stock, but I think a Duramax would be a better choice of Diesel motors...
if they did not change the transmission, it won't last long. same with the rear end and half shafts... they weren't designed for that kind of torque...
