I found a 2003 duramax that was wrecked, but the engine,transmission, interior and drivetrain. well they want 6500 for it, Im not real sure if this is a good price. anyways I am contemplating a duramax swap into my 2004 1/2 ton z71. My semi plan is to get get a two inch body lift to clear engine/tranny (mainly tranny).After I make engine mounts then I can start swapping, changing all the electronics under the hood and behind the dash, then swap over the fuel tank and fuel delivery system.After all that I would swap over the hydroboost brakes, install intercooler, probably change out transfer cases and get a custom driveshaft for that t-case to my front diff, im guessing touch ups are next. Im 100% positive that I am missing some key steps and I would like some opinions so I can hopefully make this swap work out alot better.
P.S. a 1/2 ton NBS would be sick with a duramax, almost forgot that i have some 1ton torsion bars that i could put in to support the weight, but I will leave the suspension alone unless its in the way or not strong enough to support that behemoth of a engine/tranny combo.
