I mean I dont see how an engine and trans swap could be as much as most of the H2s value
I mean the savings in gas is a plus sure, but how much gas would you have to save to cover that.

ROI is over 15 years, depending on how many miles you drive a year. This isn't something you do purely for gas savings. I love my H2, but I don't think I kept any of my previous trucks more than 5 years each. I might be kidding myself if I think that would change with the H2 (even if I kept it twice as long, the swap still wouldn't have paid for itself). But I'm still giving it some thought...
I doubt this is something a home mechanic could do just because of the sheer amount of custom fabrication in mounts and wiring, plus the extension of the front clip. I'm sure there's a ton of tuning required as well.
