Re: Duramax conversion update....
I agree... I'm STILL putting the blown bigblock in my S10. I had it in with a blower and took it out and used a supercharger instead.
I used a motorplate instead of mounts and now the headers are kicking my ass.
There is always something throwing a wrench in it.
It kind of reminds me of when I buy a new tv and I'll get someone come up to me and say "ohhh, you should have told me, I just bought that same tv for $xxx price."
Of course, when you decide to go that route... it never works out.
Monday night quarterbacking.

Plus if you bought a truck already done, you don't know how well it was done!

I agree...
I don't remember if you remember but there was an '03 pewter with a duramax conversion for sale.
I looked at it and actually made an appt. with a local dealership to check it out.
I ended up changing my mind because I didn't want to go back in years (from my '06 to an '03) nor lose my SUT.
Turns out another member was trying to sell it here and it end up having frame damage.
Being in the bodyshop business, I would have flipped out if I bought it and found out it had frame damage and I lost my perfectly good SUT for that POS.
I'm extremely confident with the guy doing the work... it'll be done soon enough.
I'm not in a super rush because I've got another few weeks to finish up my HD I've been building for the last couple of years. With the weather, I'm dying to go riding.
