In the latest issue of Hot Rod magazine theres coverage of the Drag Week event and in that event theres a '94 Mustang GT with a Duramax diesel that ran a 9.96.  
Theres not many details but thats certainly something very different.

Well technically its an Isuzu motor.

Shouldve used a Powerstroke but this works I suppose.

That mustang is retarded. It took him MONTHS to get that thing right, for the ammount of time/money spent he could have been running faster. I laugh at all these idiots doing these swaps…

For some people its all about being different I suppose and it seems like this guy has a ton of money anyway.

Id love to get a slant 6 Mopar and drop in a Cummins 24 valve but the motor weighs about 5 tons.

Yes but if you wanna be different, why the hell would you pick one of THE most used platforms on the face of the earth? :lol You wanna be different buy a 67 Opel, or a Studebaker. I like seeing a car being loyal to its manufacturer, whether its ford, dodge, w/e.

Shock factor maybe?

I like keeping the same brand motor in a car too with some exceptions like an LS1 in an RX7, etc. Domestic V8’s are ok going into imports.

Weird because most of Isuzu is a rebadged Chevy except the heavier trucks and those are mostly 4 banger diesels like the old shitty truck at work. Somehow that POS made it 11 years and 267k though. Its junk but it still runs.

Geo was Isuzu for a few years but then they switched to Suzuki and Toyota.

Isuzu does rebadge their heavy trucks as GMC’s though.

I almost never seen regular Isuzu’s like the Colorado rebadge or Assender on the road and German Auto Haus is selling more used cars than new Isuzu’s.
