Yes you swap the engine but what the purpose beyond cool factor. But I would think your not going to get the towing capability with the lighter frame and shorter wheel base

I guess, i mean not like diesels are blowing MPG out of the water right now. And here diesel is only 80-90 cents more a gallon.

I went with the ecoboost and got rid of my F250. saving me 80 bucks a fill up right now.

MPG wil go from 7-8 mpg to 15-16 mpg towing and from 11-13mpg to 20-24mpg highway and the H2 is a heavy suv so it will tow awesome, the dueamax will increase the value of my truck 35k and the cool factor :lolhit:

But still a cool project and Im not being a debbie downer. Wish I had the money to do cool things.
