Possible or not? Motor alone weighs 1100 lbs, is it too much of bags to handle safely? I swear I saw it done before but cant find any pics. thanks

Holy shit the cummins has wires no way. Ok rip out of the engine wiring from mechanical b series and from a duramax and putem on a scale and tell me what the diffence is.

haha. thats some funny shit!

he means dropping a cummins in would be like a carb'd SBC, and a duramax would be more along the lines of a LS series motor.

meanwhile, i say do that shit! either or. would be badass for sure!

i am currently putting a duramax into a C-10. It will just be a static dropped short box for a daily driver.

why diesel? because it's better. stronger. Bad ass, and I know how to get more power cheaper.

I work for Bullydog and we have been thinging about puting an LB7 Duramax in my Avalanche most of the wiring is already there and mounts are almost the same.
