[This guy](<https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/cto/5212227372.html>), who knows nothing is holy. Into that old Chevy Nova or Dodge Dart a big-block should go, proclaims the muscle car scripture. Add some trick heads, then a nice cam and carb combination, it continues. This dude’s having none of it. Kill your idols, he says, kill them deader than hell. Here, it’s exorcism via 6.6-liter Duramax turbo diesel. You know, the one GM produced with Isuzu. Stuff an oil-burning, Japanese-engineered V8 into an old Chevelle, and you’re good in our book. Hero.
