Re: Duramax swap?
Are you just talking then about the C40-C50 platform? There have been a few duramax swaps (non-body swaps) done. Usually the biggest issue is the engine either sitting up to high for hood clearance, or too low that you have to notch the frame. Also, you want to factor in overall vehicle height to clear not only the front axle, but depending on drivetrain, your driveshaft to axle around the oil pan on these DMAX motors. I am still finishing up loose ends on my cab and then onto my LB7,Allison, and Ford np205 swap.
