1968 Charger with a Mercedes Diesel Inline-Six Update

1968 Charger with a Mercedes OM606 Inline-Six

Luke Dale and his team at Diesel Pump UK continue work on “Vin Diesel” 1968 Dodge Charger project. The Charger is powered by a Mercedes 3.0 L OM606 diesel inline-six and BorgWarner 9180 turbocharger. The transmission will be a full manual Gearstar Pro 4l85E transmission. Since our previous update the team installed the engine, cooling system, fuel system, finished fabricating the exhaust manifold, and started upgrading the differential.

    1. V8s have long been dead except to people looking for cheap and very dirty power.

      The VR6 was never “alive”. Its a very compromised design.
