Duramax???

but looking at the picture on your last link the tranny looks BIG.... you would propably need to either remote locate the tranny filter and raise the tranny oilpan (perhaps an electric scavenge pump and a gravity feed oil reservoir to the pickup in the tranny pan will buy you some inches) or mount the whole engine/tranny horizontally and have a BIG transmission hump/tunnel

Yeah the transmission pan will hang kinda low but they made it fit in the Impalla. Here is the link to a pic of the pan in the Impalla. http://www.dieselpowermag.com/featur.../photo_06.html

Right now I am thinking just leave the pans as they are and make it fit. But I dont want to run a huge cowl hood either. Like I said only about 2in hopefully.

Probably going to take up some interior space but I guess we will have to see.

would a measurement from the motormounts to the underside of teh hood help?? i can det that tomorrow??

[Camaromax]

yeah I guess that might help as sort of a refrence as to the difference in engine bay height between the two cars.

Thanks

i totally forgot to post this yesterday... there are 20.8 inched from the bolt thru the motormount to the underside of the hood.. and 26.4 inches from the top of the crossmember in the centerline to the stock hood...

Thanks, I am not near my camaro right now and it is actually in pieces so I am going to have to find another car to measure from for my comparison. Looks like a trip to the scrap yard is in order.

It's a brand new build - There will be a few pics of it on our 09 catalog.

Hey I got a question for anyone with a Duramax truck. What rpm is the engine at when you are in O.D. at 70 mph. I need this information to compute what gear to run in my car thanks. Also which transmission do you have 5 or 6 spd and stock or afteer market tire size.

Thanks any help is appreciated

mine is an 07.5 with the 6 speed Allison. Stock tires/wheels (265/70-17) it's 1750 rpms or so at 70 mph. Realize that there were two or three different wheel/tire packages stock, so they're not all the same height. This should give you a good idea though. 3.70 gears also, stock on these trucks. Tires are probably 32" or a bit more tall.
