Re: Need new engine
Chris,
As anther H2 owner fromt he southern area (Ocean Springs, MS), I would agree with Guru (but then again when dont I agree with him).
I think if you plan to keep it... go for it.
Personally I would look at the duramax conversions, but then again the drop in that tank is HUGE! (30k!?!?!?!)
What I would do... especially since I have though about this since I am near the 140k mark on my '03 ... would be to put a bigger badder engine in there. Why not go with a stroker 383 and supercharge it.... Should be better gas mileage, but I would suggest a upgrade on the trans. Then again you can buy a new L series iron block engine and work it from there (but with the increase power you will again want to work the tranny).
I would look over the items on your suspension/drivetrain too.
I mean you never know what needs to be worked on.
I never plan on getting rid of mine, but I know I would like more grunt while not giving up the off road ability.
I heard replacing the 4 speed for a 6 speed is something to do, but it is a night mare.
BTW is that a 6 inch fabtech lift? It sweet, dont think i could go that high, but still sweet.....
and if that a TV receiver dish on the roof?
