    as in not worth the effort/$$$? a lot of guys over on pt.net seem to be pointing to the BB for applications like mine (12" lift, 38"s, towing, etc) for all the torque down low. i still lean towards a 6.0, but admittedly im sure a lot of those guys know substantially more than i do.

    even tossing around the idea of just doing a mostly stock 5.3 right now for the sake of cheap cheap cheap for a low miles complete engine and then long term building a mean 408 so the conversion aspect would already be done and it would just be a matter of swapping out the engines themselves and re-tuning.

    408 would be good but maybe you wanna swap in a deisal and an allison.

    Tons of trq etc etc etc

    i would love to swap in a d-max/allison that would no question be my first choice, but i have been told the complications involved with that would be more than its worth right now, plus additional cost would be fairly large finding a complete dmax and allison.
