[MBZ] Moose Friday hypothetical question - Diesel sports car

2006-09-02 Thread OK Don
If one wanted to put a semi crazy Finn 603 drive train into a lighter, more nimble chassis, which ones would be good candidates? TR-6 or GT6+ ??? How light could a stripped out 201 chassis get? Yes - there would have to be custom springs, lots of welding and fabrication, but a turbo Diesel

How about a 606 Turbo/IC into a 202? (okay so I'm dreaming given all the electronics needed to keep a 606 alive and purring) Didnt they have some C320's? wouldnt that car be a good candidate for a 6 cyl diesel? -j.

Remember that the engine/tranny assembly weights at least 1000 lbs --the frame must be able to support it! Very light cars are out of the question, it would squash a mid-sized US car, let along a TR6! Peter

A W113 with a Finnished OM606/5spd would be my dream sports car. Also a massaged VW tdi tucked into a Porsche 914 would also do the trick. Casey Olympia, WA Biodiesel: I drive in a persistent vegetative state '87 300TD intercooler #22 (218k) '84 300D (216k) Gashuffer: '89 Vanagon Wolfsburg

Yes, a C111 would be awesome - so would the price tag. This project has to be able to be accomplished by mere mortals. Probably on a retirement - fixed - income. Hacking, welding, re-enforcing, reasonable re-wiring are all OK - I installed an Olds V-8 (215) in an MGA and drove it 100k miles
