Coming along nicely!
Bought, wrecked, rebuilding a 2009 LMM

Tried twice before I remember these are bolts and not nuts with bolts broken off

? Fender mount for the PS battery tray
Thinking fender or firewall is bent.. iirc that hole goes to the fender mount. The expansion tank it slid as far forward as possible for stock holes
You sure that frame you bought wasnt bent?
If it is bent, it's bent a whole lot less than the one I pulled out. When I pulled the radiator core support body mount bolts out everything on the front clip jumped back the the DS on the original frame. As I was hit on the DS going to the PS.
I'm sure there is a lot of stuff slightly "tweaked"
Things like DS fender needs to be tweaked back so my headlight assembly mounts correctly.
I haven't even mounted the hood yet ?
Put the hood on it and square up the sheet metal. That fender brace on the fire wall could be bent as well as a few other things. That should give you a better picture of what's going on.
Everything looks good besides that hood. Mounting the coolant reservoir should be easy to mitigate by loosening a few bolts.
that poor hood had a rough life...
So this came up in my FB history, last dmax I blew up was 7 years ago.. failure was ripped #4 main web on a lb7/LLY block that was running main studs.
I've got 2 LBZ/LMM based dmax engines here, one needs a block other is a LMM block that needs bored..
One of the comments was @Chevy1925 mentioning getting a LML (11-16) block
How interchangeable is it?
Should I start keeping an eye out for one?

For whatever reason the LML seem to fetch a Premium but I don't know why. Supposedly a stronger casting from what I am told.
I wouldn't pass up an LBZ/LMM block though.
I guess it depends on what your doing with it.

Yeah, increase in webbing and I think thickness in a few areas. Supposed to be stronger.
I'm pretty sure they are compatible with all prior generations with no significant differences. It's more about what gets bolted onto or into it

I think the only major was the thread for the oil sensor. I see an adaptor for sale to use older block with newer sensor for a 2011+ wiring.

You can also go the other way too.

Little of everything, HP limit is what ever stock injectors support with a sportsman CP3 feeding them. That's what ~600 at the wheels? Plan on swapping nozzles to 7 hole via Industrial or DDP which are like 10-15% over
Definitely not planning on towing like I did with my LMM dually

I think @Chevy1925 used an lbz block in the limo. Maybe he can confirm?
Called Hicksville for a price, they want 6-900 for a bare block that's not machined. Probably a similar for a LBZ/LMM
You can get a short block on EBay for around $600

Got the PS fender aligned, DS better fitting,
The in-radiator transmission cooler fitting are metric vs SAE running M22-1.50 vs 7/8" got a new set of -10 adapters
Pickup up a little trans cooler for the Power steering system. Found out I used all my -6 to M14x1.5 fittings..
Looks like AC upgrades are possible, the condenser from my 01 2500 burb fits, will most likely need new lines.
The burb condenser is ~6" longer.
The rear AC in my burb has been deleted for a while and no freeze up just running the front.
Also trans line routing.. does the transmission outlet run into the top or bottoms radiator fitting?
Edit googled found a PDF from FPE
