I don't think the 6.5L duramax (700 lb ft of torque) was the engine used for the comparison. I think he was referring to the 6.5 TD IDI that used to be in older trucks (pre-duramax).

I am really warming up to the V6 option in the chevelle. The 66/67 chevelle is my favorite car of all time. After I finish the restoration on my 68 C10 truck my plan is to get a hold of a chevelle. I just may follow in his footsteps and go for the V6. 300 Hp / 273 ft/lb of torque is plenty for that car and there are turbo kits to move that very close to 500 hp. Having a classic car like that and be able to drive it every day would be AWESOME.
