A buddy sent me a link to this diesel 68 Vette project. It isn't for everyone, but this guy did some engineering and fabricating on this project. The clam shell front is purdy cool. The car runs the 1/8th in 7.87 @ 90 MPH and gets 26 MPG. It isn't killer fast, but a 'dare to be different' project. Enjoy!

There are a few videos at the end of the thumbnail photos.
 
Back when I was tossing around ideas for a conversion, I thought of a Duramax conversion, but abandoned due to weight.

But this project just takes the cake. I would love to see what a purist would do if they saw this.
