Gale Banks made either a 125 or 150 hp 4.3 Turbodiesel Oldsmobile 2 door Cutlass Supreme with a 5 speed back in the day. Car & Driver did a review on it then .. like a 0-60 in 10 seconds with a top speed of like 125-130 mph.
@@workingcountry1776 5 speed manual. Apparently sticks were offered on G bodies back in the day,so swapping pedal assembly,console shifter,etc. was no big deal. Take home rate on stick G bodies was low and would be discontinued as the 80s marched on. Same tranny as Camaro,S10,etc when equipped with 5 speed stick. Remember correctly,the Banks Cutlass in question was originally a slushbox. Mr. Banks also had a gas 350 Turbocharged 70s Cadillac Seville that could hit 200 mph. if my memory is correct,or it was early Callaway,Linfenfelter I think.
I mean, it's not quite as useful as sticking it in an S10 or S10 Blazer for a winter beater, but I bet it'll get awesome mileage! Don't forget, you can run that old all mechanical shit on used oil as long as you filter it good first.
I see you're genuinely a man of culture, I have a recliner in my garage as well. Fun fact if you put 2x4s and some big casters underneath they're the perfect height for work benches👌 also I'm loving the thought of a diesel Corvette, you could probably watch in real-time the purest Corvette owners skin rippling backwards👍
Anyone could have saved and restored that Vette and everyone choose not too, this guy is putting a classic car back on the road so nobody should be bitching.
15:37 My guy i don't care your title said 350 diesel corvette and now i honestly want to get my hands on a roller C3 and put this diesel engine in a corvette and polish it up to go to a few shows

Perfect name for this gem!!! Love all the TPB clips! You've gotten really good at making vidyas man! Love all the repurposing of shit you got laying around! Definitely the way to go! If you got it, use it, and save the money for some more bud!! Roll me a SPJ for this one!! 😁👍 Complete Toilet FTMFW!! Gotta catch up on the other vidya now! Great work!!! 🚽🪠
I had an 82 Monte Carlo with a olds diesel. all the mototr mount bolts had vibrated out of the block. You could "power brake"🤣🤣 it and the gear selector on the column would move and the car would move and you could hear the engine fall back in place. I drove it for years like that and never fixed it.
hahaah i've had quite a few gm's where the mounts are shot and you just watched everything move, and my buddies 76 stingray he had, the motor would hit the hood, good times hahah
I thought you’d be using a 6.2. But you’re more on point…an Olds diesel is even that much more of a toilet! This is inspiration for my 6.2 third gen Camaro project idea! B!tchin!
I remember when roadkill drove one of these body style corvettes to the sinkhole that those fell into and offered to drive that one into the hole and they could bury it.
The block was beefy AF. I drove one an old-timer had and drove till '89. Total smoke bomb at the end and I'm sure he spent a puke of cash keeping it running.
Your channel just came across my feed and I am so glad it did bro ... great content and entertaining af ... peace and love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on.. ps u got a new sub
Love them pink 42:00 side pipes. We aint got nothing up here in canada . For that car the way u bought it. Would be 5k. Like prices have gone stupid. Im a tech and i love the old stuff. I mean i can find ugly ass rust buckets. But anything that has a hint of ccould be a 150k car after a total resto mod. Ya but its got trees growing thru it bud. It crazy. Just wNt something i can cook the dam tires with. I got a 450hp suv but being AWD u cant do shit except smoke ppl off the line.
I love it when people get all buthurt about what I do with my property. If you don’t like it, come buy it from me, then you’re welcome to do with it as you please. But, while it’s my property, I’ll do with it what I please.
I know where there is more of them lawn ornaments. That small block Chevy sounded like a 6.2 Diesel swap equals a hole lot of how dare yous and Prius tears .
I just cut the universals out with torch. Clean up shit n slap them 2gether while still fairly hot. And b4 going back together, run a wire wheel through the bores. Walk in the parking lot! 👌
I've always liked this body style. Damn Wes, this is the shittiest Vette build I've ever seen, Love it bro 😁👌👍🤘. You are still the 👑 king of cutaways 👍🇺🇸🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@CompleteToiletGarage You know you gotta do it. And for added effect, some 4x6 pictures of some randomn really shiny factory correct corvette the same color to be the as "before" decoy for those taking a closer look inside. + the go pro mounted inside to watch the goobers have an aneurysm.
When you change the oil use the big oil filter. STP S25 at AutoZone, or a Fram PH25, forget what the Wix number is but the anti drainback valves don't seal well anyway on them. I use the STP S25. Decent quality filter for 5 bucks. Doesn't cost any more than the tiny skinny one and definitely fits in the space.
This guy is like the cross between vice grip garage and zip ties and bias piles lol
and a touch of WhistlinDiesel...
"The more I work on it, the worse it gets" I couldn't think of a more genius tag line for the channel.
LS swaps and Cummins swaps have been done to death, you sir, are operating on a whole new level. Love this build!
In my opinion the best-looking years for the Corvette. The power problem can be corrected easily
Yeah, like a Kubota 3cyl..
Yea if u dont live in comiefornia
Best looking by far, and a simple engine swap could change it, but why do it the right way?
Spray it
Really? I think the c3 is the ugliest corvette ever made lol
Had to hit the like when i saw the Fucking engine running while hanging from a tree 🤣🤣
hahah thanks fella! who needs those expensive test stands when you got a perfectly good tree!
@@CompleteToiletGarage i like the way you think sir!
Fantastic build. Proof that two wrongs do make a right!!

Wow, that would be neat. Non computerized transmissions take so much away from low output engines.

You DID see the 'hint'.😊

This reminds me of a book i read called..... the puppy that lost it's way😂😂👍👍👍
My mom had a brand new Pontiac 6000 with that engine. It would smoke the frt tires
WAY BETTER THAN VICE GRIP GARAGE!!!
Thanks for the diesel info! I need to find a v6 FWD now to put in my 87 Celebrity!
I have a 75 L82 Auto engine has been built and its friggin fast for what it is.
This makes me warm inside like Christmas morning.
hahaha yes!
this is some true toiletry right now
For anybody that wonders if he's exaggerating; no, this car is a steamin pile of fertilizer.
Great editing, decent sound, epic build.
Anyone could have saved and restored that Vette and everyone choose not too, this guy is putting a classic car back on the road so nobody should be bitching.
With a 4.3 diesel it's still being driven faster than most of the C3s I see lmao
It's been given a good second life
@@snoofayy6150 haha probably very true.

The BEST thing about a GM 350 no matter if it's gas or diesel they run EXACTLY the same.
not even a 350 or a v8 lol its a junk v6 diesel they put in front wheel drive cars in the 80s
Wtf are you talking bout

WHATS IT GOT AUSSIE RICK ???
RICK! hope all is good with you fella! Just been busy as hell getting vidyas shot, and now editing them all down!
Love the videos and especially loved the voice over GM history lesson. Keep them fuckers coming CTG.
there are plenty more on deck!
Take it to a Corvette car show and Trigger some people
i know a guy with a celebrity with the 4.3 diesel. its like showroom only 15k miles. i want it for the weirdness, but theres no parts. at all.
you can get some parts, but headgaskets for the v6 are not available unless you pay stupid money to have them custom made for you
😂 Golden! My wife loves these c3 and i showd her and she screamed at me like this was my idea 😂 shit i have my trusty 6.2d low miles on it 400k 😂 now i just need corvette. 15y married im ready move on 😂
Now Thats One Smokin Toilet Turd right there! 👍🏿
Just a smokey disaster, I LOVE IT!
This needs a Cyrus style makeover
This is solid country gold. Best build of 2023 for sure, everyone else watch and take notes.
SEMA READY! hahaha
I had to open the windows whilst watching that.👌👍😂
Subbed as soon as I heard “we ain’t ****** LS swappin it”
That’s a solid friend group there.
fkn right!
Pass the smog test 100%
So what you’re saying is that I can make a diesel Fiero?
Do it
I hate inspections on vehicles

Next take a 1300 out of a '68 Beetle and put that under the hood of the Vette and get it moving.🤣
hahhaha i wonder which would be slower
I thought you’d be using a 6.2. But you’re more on point…an Olds diesel is even that much more of a toilet! This is inspiration for my 6.2 third gen Camaro project idea! B!tchin!
This is absolutely disgusting. I love it.
i hope to put a 7.3l idi in a 70s lincon, thunderbird, cougar, or ltd at some point. so i loved this 😂
i knew it was going to be an olds diesel
Sounds just like the dang 43 gas or engine
Best idea I’ve seen in awhile. 4.3 diesel corvette
Meth heads have the best transmissions, the shift kits they put in them knock your teeth out when they shift.
hahahaaaaa!!!!
please paint it like how ricky and bubbles vandalized cyrus' car at the hardware store
2 or 4 or 6 pcs of 18 guage wire and your good.
crazy the 4.3 chevies have the 5 bolt heads too
This is the greatest story ever told...
hahahaha yes!
hope to see more of this
Purple Hornies mufflers!
Love the history on the 4.3 d.
You can't clear out a smoky diesel but it's sure fun trying!
100 percent!
I'd still drive it.😂👍 great job.

Man, LOVE this build, gotta get a trans for it!!!
Great production guy!
😂😂
If you only pay a thousand dollars for a Corvette there's no way to make it worse!!!😂😂😂😂😂

Been waiting for this new video!!!!!
brang a coal tear 2 me 2...BEAUTIFUL
wow holy shit man wowWOW nice job man looking forward to seeeee the smoke when its driving LOL
I know where there is more of them lawn ornaments.

Outstanding guys 🤘🤘🤘
shes a beaut!
why hasn't somebody done this before?
Why didn't they diesel a chevy 350. I've fell asleep tightening all them head bolts. And I dunno how many times seen people confuse a 5.7 with 6.2
ya people are idiots, spout off sh!t that they read once on the internet so it MUST be true! hahah
Killer episode toilet!
Thanks Blake!
Does the V6 have better or worse reliability than the 350 V8
Sounds like he thinks the 43 is a bit stronger
Very entertaining but terrible for my OCD.

Love a diesel shit box 👌🏾 is there a way to make the motor some what reliable? 😅 it deserves a turbo! 👌🏾🤙🏾
Im so glad you bought that. I considered it and thought to myself maybe i should just have only one terrible corvette. Hmm
Surprised it wasnt a 6.4 powerstroke or the 6.5 detroit
Awesome swap, just enough off-brand to piss off any purist. =-)
maybe, just maybe it'll go to a corvette show one day and see what happens! hahahahah
