I want to but need to find out if its even worth it. See some H2 post but like to see if anyone has info/source on what it will take.
Is it more then its worth... time and $ to do LB7 in a military HUMVEE?

Talk to Russ at RPM motorsports. He used to be in Los Banos, CA. I think he moved the shop to Dixon, CA.
Member Mogman is doing this type of swap. Not sure what engine he's using.
I’m about to dive into an H1 myself. We are doing a 6.0 with a tvs1900:swap. Just make sure your H1 has a 4l80 from the factory so you don’t have to redo everything.
I did a LMM swap almost 3 years ago, definitely worth every penny and every ounce of blood (there will be plenty!)
In the middle of the project I swore I would NEVER do THAT again.
I just picked up a 07 LBZ for my next conversion, I think the LBZ is the best as more of the stuff I want like cruise control is in the ECM, I plan on using the GM inst. panel in this conversion, the post LMM engines get too tall, the LP5 would be practically impossible to install.
Also the Basic or A1 HMMWV is by far the best to start with as they have the lowest ratio diffs (2.56) and do not ride like a brick on a skate board like the A2s and ECVs do. (ECV is the worst with the 3.07 gears as the big GM transfer case has been documented multiple times to handgrenade)
Here is the link to my build thread which I am very glad I did because I suffer from CRS big time.

How not to install a Duramax in a M998
Well hopefully this will not be the epitaph for this project, I thought a thread with the progress and possible pitfalls that lay ahead might be interesting to someone, constructive criticism, hints and comments from actual experience will be of course welcome. Some of this has been told before...
