GM has developed a new 4.5 Liter Duramax V-8, developing 310 hp and 520 lb/ft of torque. The good news is that it will be available in 1/2 ton trucks, the H2 and maybe (HOPEfully) the Tahoe. If they do offer it in the 'Hoe, that could very well be my new tow rig.

It would be cool if GM offered it as a crate engine.

I'd be interested in knowing how the weight compares to our beloved 4.0.

There's a company called Predator Diesel or something that specializes in dropping the 6.6 Duramax into the H2 and H3... Then throwing on some huge Garrett piece and pushing some odd 700hp... Check it out or something search it. Not very cheap though... and it's still an H2
