Hey Travis, no unfortunately I did not shoot a ton of video during the trans work.. mostly because I have no idea of what magic is going on inside of that thing 😂
It’s a lift plate that is designed to bolt up where the turbo pedestal bolts in. It’s 1/2” thick plate with a 5/8” eye bolt.. super strong. Can’t remember where I got it from but if you search online you’ll find it.
For anybody wondering, the Duramax weighs about 1000lbs with all accessories, and the Allison 1K weighs about 350lbs, so combo weighs about 1300-1400 lbs. A Small block & automatic weighs about 760lbs all together. Getting ready to put an LMM/1K combo into my wife's 80 Suburban, nice work!
Excellent series!! Following this build as template for my ratish rod idea. Picked up an LBZ yesterday still have a lot to figure out lol.
Thanks, hopefully my videos can help you out! A Dmax powered rat rod sounds badass. Are you going with a squarebody?
@@richphippsgarage 57 Pontiac Chieftain. Has the perfect patina.
Very cool! With the LBZ, that car is gonna go through some tires lol!
Loving this build and can't wait for the next video! Don't wait till the last minute for the oil dipstick tube!😁
Exactly! That dipstick tube can ruin your life if you forget it 😫
Heck yeah, We are about finished with our lml swapped 79’ f250. Hopefully will get to turn it on by end of this week.
That’s awesome! I haven’t seen a dmax swapped classic Ford. Post a picture if you have one! Also, who did you go with for your tune/stand alone?
I have the 77 getting body work and a 2010 lmm doner ready to go, just need the precision kit to get started on her
Hell yeah! That kit isn’t cheap but the quality is worth every penny. Good luck on your project!
Did you do a video on rebuilding the Allison, would like to see that.

@richphippsgarage
Same here, I've done 350 and 400 , don't know if I can tackle a Allison.
Love the build great job.
What are you lifting the engine with? What’s connected to the motor?

Thanks for the additional info and good luck on your swap project! A dmax swapped burb will certainly turn some heads!
