Since I'll be getting ready to do the Duramax conversion, I took a look at the body yesterday. If you pulled the upper tiebar from the radiator support, you may be able to slide a stock engine out of the front compartment.

The tranny will definitely have to be removed but it looks like there is a chance it will fit.

Having said that... the place doing the conversion does the same thing. That is, pull the body off the frame. As big as the duramax diesel is, there is no way it will drop in from the top.

As far as pulling it from the bottom.

Not gonna happen. After two lift kits on an H2 and seeing everything under there, no way jose.
