Talking Bonneville Deisel.

Hey it would have been nice if GM had made a Bonneville with a diesel engine, say a 3.6 liter direct injection twin turbo with a 6 speed manual.
Does anyone know if anybody has converted a fwd bonne to diesel?
Just thinking out loud.

I made a typo on the spelling of diesel on the post.

The 83-86 Bonnevilles could be bought with a Olds 350 Diesel engine. But not FWD. A 350 V8 would be a hard transverse fit. The The V8 NorthStar barely goes in with 282 cubes.
