I know, but GM putting it in a prototype is a lot different than an aftermarket company doing it.

Seriously though - I wonder if and when the 6.0 comes out if it will be available as a crate engine for a swap, along with the necessary front end parts a la the torque concern.

Or would it be cheaper to trade....

Hmmmmm....

My guess (and it is only a guess) is that it will be the 5.3 (302HP/330lbft) that GM has in the Envoy and several other vehicles. I think someone;) had hinted about that a while back. Correct me if I am wrong.

It would probably be cheaper to trade after you consider the transmission, larger radiator, reprogram the computer, and all of the labor. The company that did the H3 in this thread is charging $14,500 for the 6.0 swap and that doesn't include the diffs.

George Clooney has just announced he has the answers to GM's issues and will personally fix the H3 ":beerchug: engine thing"

Clooney has as many of the facts already mentioned.:)
