Re: Duramax swap

I’m running a 12v in a 68 C20 chassis, the fronts look identical from half to 3/4. Possibly slightly thicker metal but dimensionally the same. Point is I’m estimating with what I’ve done to be around 325-350 horse and 650-700 ft lbs. power isn’t what will kill the frame, it’s traction/load. Plus our c channel frames flex vs break, but personally something that short I wouldn’t put that much weight up front even though it’s be fun
