Has anyone put an other then LML built short block in a LML duramax like an LLY block in a LML? use a built short block from a LLY and bolt the LML top end on it is what Im thinking.
Built LML

I'd imagine you'd have to use a lbz/lmm
:happy:
In for this. I see I'm not the only one who wants to find an LML that blew up at the auction yard and jam an LBZ down its throat...:rofl:
So does it mount different or is it just the top end stuff? I will have a built short block soon and was thinking about buying a new new reg cab LML and sticking the built short block in with the LML top end minus the Emissions equipment. built trans and a big single.
If you use an 01-05 short block in an LML, you'll have to swap crank reluctor wheels. LBZ/LMM/LML is 58x tooth. LB7/LLY is 57x tooth.
Yept thats right but otther then that is should work?
How come front balancers and flex plates are different for lb7/lly and lbz/Lmm? Thought cranks were different????
They are. doesnt mean you can't put one engine in another generation of rig though.
If your gonna do this buy those 40% from silver king on here. Should be equal to 100% LBZ sticks...

Thats just a weight balancing thing.
So other then the reluctor wheel what else would be different? are the head on an LML completely different then the LBZ? can I use a LBZ headed LLY built short block and put all the LML electronics on it?
Water pump and timing cover differ as well. But yes you can ^^^
Yes I can run the LBZ heads? and I would imagine I would just adapt the LLY water pump to the lower LML hose.
SOOO tempted right now to go buy a reg cab 2014 LML I found. brand new with 550 miles (yeah how did it get that many miles Idk) as we all know it seems to be hard to find reg cab LML's should be able to get it for mid to high 30's I'm going to call since I found out yesterday the 2014's have 4500 rebates.
curious
Are you saying that LML 40% injectors flow the same as 100% LBZ injectors?

That's what I've been told...
Yeah tuning mine now and the pulse at WOT is 1100 or so. A small bump on pulse and some timing woke things up considerably. And I mean small.
