1989 chevy caprice wagon lifted 33s

Why???? Trust me, there is something better to put a lift on than this one.

There is something better to turbocharge than this one. Oh my!!!

Put the turbocharged diesel 6 in-line engine in.

Good idea. But I think that engine is very heavy and will break the front axle.

The turbocharged diesel is not great idea for racing.

Oh, I thought it was a Caprice wagon. I guess it's a hybrid or whatever someone wants to call it.

Still Caprice wagon. The wagon body mounted on a F150 chassis with Ford 400 cid V8. The diesel 6 inline engine would be good to drop on the F250 or F350 chassis, would be a wagon killer. I agree with Glenn.

I never said can't, I said NOT GREAT idea.

That's video is illegal for most state due too much emission as black smoke.

Yeah, I know some drag racing car (not truck) with diesel made 1/4 in 5 seconds or something.

How about put engine down very slow and easy, not DROP, so it won't break F150?

Drop the engine in the vehicle is base on how skill you have. You novice mechanic? Me? Drop the engine in the chassis take 30 minutes or less. If you swap the diesel engine in a F150 chassis with a Caprice wagon body, you need to trim the firewall and tranny tunnel to get good clearance for the engine/tranny, fab motor mounts on the crossmember of course they are lot of works.

Yep, and the radiator might not fit, and a thousand other details to take care of. Not job for novice.

No, Looks like you don't get my joke.

That's one. Drop That's mean unhook from the engine hoist then drop engine in the frame from 3 feets away and done in 1.5 seconds.

From gasoline to diesel? That's a LOT work with rewires,change fuel system, rid ignition system, add intercooler,add glowplug/AC plug system, change PCM, change refill fuel hole (gasoline is smaller than diesel for fuel pump)

Not worth it. I prefer buy a truck with diesel and ready to go.

Some hot rodders or enthusiasts says, " I'm gonna to drop this rat motor in my car"... meaning he put a big block Chevy engine in a car. And service writer wrote a note to me, says "Drop the oil pan"... meaning you remove the oil pan. That's what mechanics used to addressing the mechanical languages.
