Its been an Idea of mine for awhile im a big diesel enthusiast, I live in south florida, well treasure coast. BIG boating community my idea was to take a 6.0 and drop it infront of a berkely jet drive. Come to find out later good luck trying to prop it!! So I looked and found this guy with a 21ft nordic speed boat with a duramax/allison combo, I looked at it, and on the side bar I found like 3-4 more videos, apparently its a common project for the chevy boys.. I was thinking why not a 6.0? I know them better then anything. good motor, stout bottom end, turns the rpms. Do any of you know if this has ever been done?

Finding the parts isnt going to be hard.. Its mating it up the drives, exhaust parts. Finding out if it HAS to be wet exhaust.. ( I would prefer if it wasnt)



except picture a 6.0 whistle.. :evil

they did an article in a past issue of diesel power, and i think they had to meet a mandated coast guard reg for how hot the exhaust could be
