68 C30 Duramax swap
Looking into the possibility of a swap. Searched the board for a build thread, but didn't have any luck. I know the swaps are out there. Anyone have a link to a build thread? I'd like to see what it entails before I drop the coin to buy the wrecked Duramax that's for sale down the road.

Re: 68 C30 Duramax swap
That thing is ridiculous
 but I recommend boxing the frame. I've seen it several times in square body trucks. The weight/rattle/torque tends to destroy a frame mainly under the engine and trans. Cracks around engine mounts and loosens rivets. At least you're starting with a thicker C30 frame, but if it's going to be used for anything other than show, you might want to box the front portion of the frame.
