Honestly I didn't realize the whole engine family was so similar. Maybe I should have went with the 7.0L 427! I've known about the Duramax swaps for quite some time. I guess I was basing my comment about it being unique off of the fact that it was an engine that just debuted a couple of years ago, and I hadn't seen such a swap done on any 2015-2020 Suburban at the time I did my swap.Every 4.8L, 5.3L. 5.7L, 6.0L, 6.2L, 6.6L, and 7.0L shares extremely similar external dimensions.
The whole point of a small-block.
If you don't already know for a fact that a jacqueswhole has swapped a 5.3L into a 'vette, just to get away with selling it to someone unawares ...
Now you know. If you can't believe it, DuckDuckGo it (googl me ars).
As for the 6L90, he did such a good job with that crossmember, the only people who will spot it are transmission and/or crossmember experts.
Never meant to be? They look right at home!

Blame CAFE MpG standards for the fact that we can't go to a dealership and order powertrains like a Five Guys burger.
If you were to consider selling it, consider / research how well Suburban 2500s hold their value.
In other words, when you do sell it, you'd better have sold it for enough money to feel really good about it - because you'll STILL regret it.
Either way, you're right. It'd likely take more than anyone's willing to pay me in order for me to feel good about selling it.
