LBZ, LB7, LLM, LLY?
I have a duramax, a 04 crewcab 4x4. Its pretty cool, but I don't know if I would put too much effort into swapping it into something.
The allsion needs to be beefed up before you can squeeze any enjoyable horsepower out of one, or it will just go in limp mode. $3000 if you do the work.
Each duramax has its own set of problems, be it LB7 injectors, LLY overheating, LLM oil leaks/consumption, etc.
They aren't all that heavy, as they are all aluminum, but with the extra torque the frame would have to be boxed.
things to ponder..
