Duramax Diesel LX470

This is sort of neat, not sure how practical it is or the specifics of making this type of modification. But for what its worth its pretty cool.

I would love a Duramax dropped in my Cruiser... Modify that thing to be getting 25 miles to the gallon and pushing twice as much torque as my 4.7 does

The guy who made that is (or was) on MUD. He has made more than one crazy custom 100 series.

I'd do that conversion in a heartbeat if I could do it for $3-$5k. Not likely though I would guess

The cummins are too damn loud for my taste.

What i'd really like is the BMW diesel they put in the 3 series. 265 bhp, 425 lb-ft tq and it gets 19/26mpg in the x5 so I would guess about the same in the 100 series.

stock rear axle can take and handle that abuse . ?

I don't believe it has a stock rear axle.

I still want a 1HD-FTE and keep all other other options and safety equipment (vsc, a-trac, etc.). Who is going to be first 100 in the USA with this transplant? The 80 series guys are all over the transplants.

eleblanc's swap wasn't close enough to home? They don't even sell the LC100 in Canada so he had even more hurdles.

This is awesome!! I miss my Duramax....This would be a good combo imo.
