1974 Corvette With A Volkswagen 1.9L Diesel

Published in engineswapdepot.com

I have covered many engine swaps but I have never seen this combo before. I can feel the opinions coming before I finish writing this sentence. This is a 1974 Corvette with a 2002 VW 1.9L TDI diesel and a five-speed transmission from a Toyota truck. The owner claims it gets 55+ MPG and cost $12,000 to build. If anyone is interested in trolling your local Corvette club, the owner is asking $4,000 for it.

Update: This Corvette previously had a 350 ci so for the 1974 model it was either a L48 or L82 model. Depending on where you go for the information, the L48 had 190-195 horsepower and the L82 had 200-250 horsepower.
