How much does the Duramax weigh compared to the small-block?
Seems like it would be a pretty difficult swap considering all the parts that would require changing.
I bet the truck would haul with all that torque in such a light chassis.

Saw a mid 90s RCSB with a Dmax/Ally swaped in, it was a ton of work, but was Friggin badass.
