Thinking of going from a 6.0 to 6.6 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a chance at getting a Duramax and Allision transmission from a truck for free. All it is, is the engine and trans. I was told that the #3 cylinder needs to be resleeved. I was wondering if it would be worth the effort to take it and rebuild it and swap from my 6.0 gas to the 6.6 duramax, or should I just pass on the idea?

I know I would need to get a wiring harness for under the hood, and resleeve the motor. I should be able to reuse my tank. What else would need to be done, inorder to make is crazy idea work?
