1964 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 with a 6.2 Diesel. a brief story.

[@BruceBoschek]

I remember the first video of this car in 2010. I think that was one of your first KZbin videos, too. I remember laughing about the idea of this huge tank with a diesel engine in it. It's actually really cool that the car not only still exists, but that you drive it regularly. It's not what one would normally think of as an "economy model," but who's to complain about 30 mpg? Great story, too. Thanks.

[@chevahaulic]

Thank you Bruce ! Pretty sure it was one of my first videos on the Tube .

[@willfellows2655]

I love everything about this car! Great build.

That car had "cool" in abundance!

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Cool! I'm an Olds fan from day one! I would love to have one EXACTLY like that!

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks for the tour boss! Really dig that car and the concept!

[@chevahaulic]

Now go put that 5.7 in that old chevy !

[@MortskeRepair]

@@chevahaulic We're working on it!

I learned to drive in my mom's 1965 Dynamic 88. It was stock, no diesel. I also learned to rebuild a 2-barrel Rochester carb and do brakes on that car. What a great ride it was. Super reliable, aside from wear items like the carb, brakes, and tune-up parts. I've owned a lot of Oldsmobiles in my life, I'd love to have another '68 Cutlass. That one had the "Jetaway" 2-speed automatic and a high-compression 350. It surprised a few people at stoplights. Great video, thanks for sharing it with us.

[@Mopardude]

You did some driving to get those engines. LOL

[@chevahaulic]

We sure did

[@txsviking]

Both of my brothers had 64 Oldsmobiles, one had a 88 and the other had a 98. Slim Jim tranny's. Like boats in smooth water. The diesel really makes it cool.

[@chevahaulic]

Yes , The slim jims trans ! Thanks Terry !

[@marlobreding7402]

Back in the 80's I made good money turning diesels into gas. We kept the diesels transmission and torque converter because it was like taking a THM400 and putting a Shift Kit in it. The best one was a short wide C10 we put a Oldsmobile 455 in it. Miles loved it because it got 25 mpg hwy. and it was a Hot Rod.

[@CountryCornerGarage]

That's awesome. I'm putting a 7.3 IDI in my 76 Continental. I was going to rebuild the 460 but I want something different and fuel mileage. It's going to be a daily and our car to travel in.

[@chevahaulic]

That'll be a perfect swap !

[@Chris_Troxler]

Ooohh...

[@markmclellon8516]

How did you title it after the guy took off?

[@chevahaulic]

Through the state with the vin # .

[@geoffsteck2074]

That’s awesome! Dare to be different…I love it!

When i first put my CUCV 6.2 in my 77 it was all clean painted and nice like that. The winter road salt has her all sorts of rusty now. Still runs well tho

[@leegathers6845]

I love that car, I got a ride in it.

[@chevahaulic]

You sure did !!

[@SpynCycle57]

Now I want to see you put a 6.2 in a Camaro

[@chevahaulic]

Funny you say a Camaro. When I was building mine in 09 . There was a guy in Germany that put a 6.5 in a 2nd gen camaro . The videos might still be around .

[@mostlymoparih5682]

A million or two miles from now that will still be running with minimal maintenance. Compare that to these electric vehicles they are trying to shove down our throats that have batteries that cost 15, 25, and 30 thousand dollars to replace. It just doesn't make sense. Good video. Happy Motoring.

[@christopherarmbruster6241]

Ya man keep them video coming dig your shit

[@sammolloy1]

The original trans was a “Roto Hydramatic” nicknamed the “Slim Jim”. It was installed on small-body Olds and Pontiacs (including unfortunately the magnificent Grand Prix’s). I know the 98 had a real Hydramatic, not sure about US market Pontiacs. The one I had slithered through a mysterious “second gear” that I was told was something like the insides of a Chevy Turboglide. But it had a phenomenally low first, it was dependable and it acted like any other 3 speed except for that.

[@jde91]

This build is the reason I started following your channel many years ago! Love it!

[@chevahaulic]

Well , you've been around a long time then !! Thank you for sticking around :)

[@katiejameson]

I absolutely love this car, what an awesome swap! I have a soft spot for the 6.2/5 engines, I've owned a lot of them over the years and now I wonder if I should build a cruiser like this with one for the fuel mileage

[@wilsonle61]

What a creative and well-done build.

[@chevahaulic]

Thank you

[@incompetentdiplomat3716]

well now i wanna put one of those big diesels in my 70s olds 98, give the olds diesel a new name lol.

[@chevahaulic]

Do It !!!

[@incompetentdiplomat3716]

@@chevahaulic ok great, where is a good place to get a diesel block and junk to shoehorn in it

[@chevahaulic]

@@incompetentdiplomat3716 guess, if you don't have anything for the swap . I'd look for a chevy pick - van with the 6.2 and get the whole thing . Then you'll have all the bits to do the swap. There may still be engines for sale on government auction sights .
