A wife that embraces your weirdness....an actual blessing from god.

The things a man finds on KZfaq while on the toilet never cease to amaze me. I've heard.

Hurry up kids you're going to miss the bus. No mom, that's just the Duke of Detroit!!!!

My dad had a 3 cyl Detroit in an International pick-up. Woke up the entire neighborhood every morning at 6am. Luckily, they needed up anyway.

A true "Wile Coyote" set-up, and gets 50mpg. Congrats dude.

I used to work for Detroit Diesel here in Australia during the 80's. They handled the Allison Transmission side of things as well. I remember all the various 2-stroke variations....& this little video brought it all flooding back - wow 😉👍

Who knew that a three cylinder diesel would sound so smooth? 🎉

It's got three cylinders, uses them all. It's got overdrive, just won't stall......

I never get tired of hearing those screamin' Detroits.

Props for doing what makes you happy, even if most people think it’s silly.

Mad Max would have loved this machine.

My god. I don't know how I ended up at this video at nearly 5am but I am so glad I did. This thing is incredible!

See those front tires compressed into the earth!! Awesome Build.

I wanted to hate this car, but man, you're an awesome guy & you created a monster! I'm a Mopar purist at heart, but this engine swap is intense. Great work!

Great swap, sounds awesome love those Detroit Diesels.

I love this! Definitely a unique conversion, and sounds great with the screaming jimmy up front. 25mpg straight up isn’t bad at all for a 70 Roadrunner with a two cycle engine

0-60: Eventually.

That is one of the best "Frankenstein'd" cars I've ever seen. This and the "Hondaru" are incredible creations.👊

Amen to that intro. Our talents truly come from God, and those loving wives that put up with us...

I drove a 671 Jimmy for many years. Got my hearing back when I swapped in the 3208 turbo Cat. More power too.😊

Awesome project. Looking forward to hearing it with the new turbo on it.

It purr’s like a kitten! I love an old Detroit! That’s a really cool combination! I bet it’s fun to drive! Great job!

Jon! I appreciate the way you started this video! God has indeed blessed you, I too feel the exact same way. May the Lord bless and keep you, and make His face to shine on you!

I'm a Mopar man all the way, but that is crazy cool. You ain't hurt the car none and having fun to.

Unique; for sure. Nice to hear the sound of 2 stroke Detroits

Oh hell yeah I am in love with the Detroit.. what an awsome car,now that's thinking outside the box.. thanks for posting this..😮😊

What a unicorn! Fantastic job!

"That's everybody's dream car." Yes, Sir, mine's for sure!

impressive engine swap and such great mileage.. good use of oil for fuel. turbo and 3 times size of injectors..200 HP.. moves the roadrunner along nicely. well done Jon! I think that you've started something here.. I am thinking along same direction for one of my ole muscle cars, which I could not afford to run due to price of guzzloline. thanks for sharing your solid straight up classic one of a kind!

I only ever entertained the idea of dropping a ?-53 in a pickup. Never considered dropping one in muscle car! You've done good work!

I salute your ingenuity bud. Turbo that beast!

The build I never knew I’d love haha. We need more diesel muscle cars

...now that is a unique conversion...good job...

I thought I'd seen it all.

This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this, I absolutely love the sound of Detroit diesels and has been my dream to do a project with one. Very cool build!!

Used to run a 4x4 tender in the bush with a blown 4-71, crews could hear me coming for miles 👍

Definitely an awesome, unique build. Great job and love the car!

How have I never found this before? This thing is awesome sir!

That's pretty cool how you can see the throttle linkage through the windscreen

Absolutely love that you 1st gave God the glory. This is the nature of hot rodding. Take what you got, or what you want, and make it work, great job!

This my man is the most epic piece of machine I've ever layed eyes on She needs a turbo though man.

Awesome! I've been fantasizing about having a car with a DD engine, and you actually did it! I totally love that sound.

Amazing car and amazing job, sir. Praise God.

i like this car, i would daily drive it... when the video popped up i thought it would be completely ridiculous, but instead i am truly impressed!

she loves it an we have taken it to church many times like I said thank you Lord for my wife that in braces my weird ness

You Sr., you're my hero. LMAO. This is the kind of crazy shit engine swap i like to see and hear about. Long live the Screamers. (THUMBS UP)

I got a 892 in my boat,freaking awesome.This is the best dodge out there now just because of the GM.Nice!

Wow, I'm at a loss for words...well done! Absolutely unusual.

25 then mix 50/50 with used fryer oil get for free so like getting 50 mpg only bad thing is u get hungry if your following me it smells like some say French fries others say chicken wings

Sounds amazing!! Doesn't really sound like a Diesel. I think it's pretty cool. Definitely unique. Good job!

Jon, You got your order of thanks correct, thanks. I think I heard him say, "in boughten fuel.." My mother used to say something she didn't have to herself make was "a boughten". Fine job brother, America still got a chance with folks like y'all

Sick car my friend!! That’s awesome!! Love the shout out at the beginning!! Yep thanks to god!!

The 353 was mostly used in log loaders, portable saw mills, small barges and back up stationary powerplants. They would run all day wide open.

That's an original swap!

Sounds beautiful. I could go to sleep with the sound from that thing

Hey, cool swap! I see NY stickers on that windshield, me too. I will be watching and listening for you on the roads. lol

Just Subscribed. Glad to see another God fearing man on here who loves old Mopars, and Diesels. Back in the 80's and early 90's I had a fleet of old Mopar muscle. Now I have a 93 Cummins.

Your HP may be only 100, but the torque is through the roof. I think it is like double the HP but it's a steady torque through the whole stroke. Coming from an old driver I love it!

Cool car... i love the Diesel conversion, Great job on the build !!!

That’s a unique build. Gotta love that Detroit. Sounds good. God bless.

What kind of sick deranged mind does this? I love it.

I need this in my life

As someone that goes to cruise night every Thursday its awesome to see this car on here.

Super well done mate, i have shown this video to many friends ,,,, all say WOW! ,,,GOD BLESS from the U.K...... and lovin the diesel

Jon I'm located right in Duanesburg NY and have many Detroit Diesels myself. in fact I'm in the process of rebuilding a 353 right now. I'd love to come see your swap in person. I'll bring my 453t swapped 78 f250. get ahold of me!!

An its like 50 mpg I mix it 50 % 50 with fryer oil veggy oil get for free

Here I want to do a Hellcat engine for my 73 Roadrunner and you got a freaking Detroit in yours. Nicely done!

I worked on a number of 3/53a over the years. They are great little engines.

2 cycles are sick, and to actually fit one in a muscle/sports car... best decision you'll have ever made your entire life. Even puts hybrids to shame!

Did you make those headers? Did you notice much power increase from the stock exhaust manifolds? Your MPG is amazing!

That's awesome! . It's great to have something that's fun and unique to drive.

Man, i'm in love with that machine already. Please take good care of it man.

I love the USA!

ya got turbo all I needs to do is get like three size bigger injectors witch are relatively cheap an it doubles the HP the hard thing is finding time to make new header an doing it hope this winter an a hood to hide it so make em wondering what's under there

That's is freaking cool!! You sir have earned the Dr. Frankenstein seal of approval!!

clever conversion mate she sounds beast love that detroit note :)

No paid 300$ for the car in 1986 ish

I love the old 371! And the car is awesome! I would've never thought of stuffing a 371 Detroit in a hot rod

Great job Sir ! Love the sound if it. Following that car's exhaust is a good appetizer before lunch .hahaha !

I like it and indeed thank God he gives us amazing ideas and talents to do these things. Btw do you plan to make another driving video that is much longer? I'd like to see and hear these sweet ride more. Awesome job!

I’m just curious why?

Nothing less than bad ass my friend. You sir are awesome!

This may be my dream car and all and I'd love to have one with a nice big V8 and would never do this to a roadrunner but I gotta admit that's so awesome! Well done!

Detroit diesel imop is the best sounding diesel ever made. that and the 6.0 powerstroke. Question is how do you locate these things. This would fit perfect in a modern shit diesel motor swap.

This is awesome man, just awesome! Slam her in and drive. I've got a 3-53NA in my pick up. You can watch it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLiomZWIv9ypkpc.html Would love to see more of the build/watch your roadrunner in action. Just sick man.

Beautiful set up brother!

Wow that's a trip it sounds dam good probably run forever great job

well look at closer look an u will see didn't hurt original body at all pay attention !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as I said in this one eight hours an I could have it back to original 383 car not all original bought car in 86 no motor or transmission or interior for 300.00$ pay attention !!!!!!!!

no wast if u understand English did cut car at all I could put 383 back in it in less than eight hours an it would be another one of thousands this is one of one

I dont know what to say...I am equally horrified at what was done to an old charger and surprised by your ingenuity. So, well done to you sir. A smart mind will always prevail.

Subbed. Looking forward to seeing more of this car!

True meaning of a drag racer! You could drag just about anything behind that beast! Love it!

Thats an awesome project buddy!! 🙏

Unique build I love it I put a four-cylinder Isuzu diesel in an 83 Ford Fairmont Futura

I love this! I also have 2 detroit diesels! Someday I want to put a 453 in a ford model a pickup!

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen on the internet!

Webber's bread trucks had those engines in them back in the early'70s in Riverside Ca., I remember the sound.

I have a friend that put a 253 Detroit in a mail jeep with a ‘64 Chevy 3 speed manual gearbox with an overdrive unit on the back. It would cruise at 65 mph all day long!! He drove it for years till the body rusted out around him!! lol.

I love it and nice work on the Mopar re - power !

Very cool and good job!!! I'm an old Detroit Diesel fan and have had a couple of pickups with 4-53 engines. I currently have a GMC with with a 4-53N and twin sticks. I love to drive them old two strokes! Thanks for the video!
