    Paul Vasko's new Dmax RailCar makes its Debut Technical info Thread!

    Awesome thread Mark! Like you said, this build is an open book. So, feel free to ask any and all questions. Your description and the log explains so much. Now I know why the car took off when it shifted to 3rd gear.

    The cage is going in now, and it is looking awesome. Bonus...we found an original build sheet under the rear seat! Doesn't look too bad for being 47 years old!

    1971 Chevelle Duramax Swap and Build

    Honestly, I didn't. No disrespect intended to Josh. I have used Jake for a long time and multiple builds, so it was almost a "reflex" to utilize him lol. To your point, I have never used him for a diesel build, so we will see what happens. I will keep yall posted on the build!
