Price I was quoted was a New Duamax and Allison tramny.I sold my Hummer and bought a New GMC 3500 with duramax /Allison.The H2 Has a Great turning radius,but you could Feel my little light 28Skater move the H2 all over the road,and I need to haul my track loader.

Does anyone know the name of the shop in NC that does Cummins swaps. A couple of guys mentioned them at a poker run a couple of months back. Thanks for any help.

I dont know if it helps, but a few years ago i was going to do a diesel swap in an escalade. At that time the shop to go wit was a shop called MASH motors they quoted me 17k for motor swap only. 22k for motor, allison trans, and full suspention. i know that at the time they specialized in doing the swap in h2's but since h2's and escalades are on the same platform he said he would do it. I know MASH motors are all over youtube. hope it helps

Yes you swap the engine but what the purpose beyond cool factor. But I would think your not going to get the towing capability with the lighter frame and shorter wheel base

Awesome! Can't wait to see the final product - - I've been thinking about getting an H2 recently as you can pick them up on the cheap!.. 11k for the duramax is swap is a great deal
