1965 Impala SS: Duramax Diesel Impala
Typically the MTV show “Pimp my Ride” sticks to a well tried formula of adding Audio and video equipment to worn down hoopties, swathing on a low-rider inspired paint scheme and adding some chrome 20″ rims. Recently they broke the mold with this absolutely amazing build. Xzibbit teamed up with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and presented to the world, this stunning 1965 Chevy Impala SS is now being powered by a v8 Durmax Diesel running on b100 biofuel. This is car is not only more fuel efficient and possibly cleaner running the it was in stock trim, it is mind-bendingly, kill a Lamborghini in the Quarter mile, fast.
The diesel work in the car was done by a company called Pacific Performance Engineering

hey there. am thinking of building a duramax powered hot rod–possibly a nova. I plan to run it on bio, as you have done. is the transmission the stock unit? also, how stock is this engine–what mods have you done to it?
thanks so much
