Let's talk Duramax crate engines

[Awenta]

I have looked at them and a few others. There all in the same ballpark price wise. I am not opposed to looking at any legit companies. The more recommendations the better.



I considered building it myself as I am more than capable. But I am not sure I would let my machine shop do the machining. It's not that they couldn't, But they don't specialize in the diesel stuff and I know they don't have a Dmax Torque Plate.

Socals stage 1 is 16.5k

Waglers entry is 10k.

I don’t consider that to be the same ballpark.

Waglers 10K is just the short block. Still needs heads, studs, gaskets...

Socals 16.5K Is a complete long block.

Forgot about the heads part. But studs are cheap and you already have heads. Just need pushrods and springs. And waglers comes with a forged crank.

Heads still need to be gone through though... and I don't have all the parts like the bridges and rockers. I also don't have the covers for the engine either. That little stuff adds up fast.

That stuff is easy....I cant count the number of for sale threads here Ive seen for things like that. You might be able to at least swing a deal with someone here.
Shoot, jpowell probably has everything you're looking for.

But yes, it does add up. Quickly.

True. Forgot he did that. Blkdmax05 (the "peanut butter and ladies" guy) also parts out trucks.
