2002 HD 4X4 drivetrain--swappable
 

I know a guy a couple of blocks from me who has a 2002 6.0L Heavy Duty that was hit in the DS rear corner while parked on the street, which he now needs to unload. Only cosmetic damage, but considerable damage to the sheetmetal. (it's a doublecab).
The drivetrain only has 50k on it and still drives great. What is the possiblity of transplanting this into our trucks? I doubt that I would do it as I just got done with the L31 5.7L conversion, but I am just throwing it out there out of curiosity.....

anything can be done but if you were going to do it, I would use the 2002 frame and adapt your body to that instead of trying to adapt everything to your frame

Lotta people use the 6.0 to stroke them.....

if it's the LQ9 engine, you can totally drop it into your truck and several people have done it. It's no diff't from using one of the newer Vortec engines. ECE sells a GenIII motor mount kit for 250 bones, it's top quality stuff, bolts right in, the hardest part is finding headers, adapting to hydraulic cluth if it's not an auto tranmission, then having the harness hacked and reprogramming the computer (i have a good source for doing that if you're interested).
