Has anybody put a Duramax into a '72 Cheyenne?
I want to take out my '99 model 6.5L turbot and slide in a 6600 Duramax with the 6 speed Allison.
Has any one done this or does anyone have tips for me??? please??? I know it is almost impossible to get them as a crate motor so I am looking for a donor.

Hey Lara,
Yeah it's been done, but $$$! There is a couple floating around? This one is in a thread around here somewhere. Oh, and speaking of $$$, check out this deal on TradeMe http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-257661738.htm!!

I know there are $$$$ and big ones but the way I figure it there are $$$ anyway I go... why not get what I want... again.
It's not like I have anything else to spend my dollars on. I will hunt for the thread. Thanx

Re: Has anybody put a Duramax into a '72 Cheyenne?
Sounds like reasonable logic. It would make a super nice truck for the long hauls you do. You've got a lot more chance of finding a donor than I do.
I rented this about four years ago in BC. Had the Duramax/Allison in it. I only did about 1500k but what a great truck to drive. Cool thing was when I filled it up the trip computer told me I had over 1000k range. Makes a bloke just want to drive!

I know - I was getting just over 2000km out of my old girl.
I am thinking it will need a container from the states filled with bits and a shopping trip to all be in the budget.

Re: Has anybody put a Duramax into a '72 Cheyenne?
Wow, 2000km over here and you'd be getting wet feet! Something very cool about having enough real estate to get out and stretch your legs. Anyway I digress. Where can you find a good used Duramax?

Buggered if I know... any ideas? Really want the LMM too of course and for less than the cost of a new one.
