Hey guys

Im starting an engine swap soon, just looking for some info.

I was wondering if anyone could shed some insight on the differences between the 6.0L chassis and the Dmax chassis.

Im specifically wondering about the front and rear diffs, torsion bars and leaf packs.

Im working under the assumption that the frames and rad cradles are all the same.

If there are any performance guys reading - at what point does the factory intercooler become too small? I've seen a few dmax's pulling big numbers with the stock intercoolers, and Im hoping to use a stock intercooler/rad/e fan setup.


Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

 

Couple more questions guys

Someone just informed me that my 2000 is different than any of the other GM frames Crap

second how do you post pictures here? Everything I have of decent quality wont upload.....

 

it's best to upload them to a third party site and then put the links to the pictures here

 

photobucket is a good image share site

It might be easier to find an 01 truck with a DMAX already in... unless you were planning to use an lly or lbz

 

Im dropping a 12v in it actually - I've since traced some information saying that they're all the same.

Look for a build thread sometime in the coming months. Looking at the Pure Performance kit right now and the logistics of a Dana 80 swap out back - lots of Dodge parts wrapped up in a Chevy.

 

Thats gonna be a cool swap Keep us posted how it goes!

 

Its going to be a lot of work..... Im still planning, I have pictures that I need to post as well.

So far - I've done a lot of trying to find information on here and a couple of other forums.... oh well
