Durmax is 1/2 way doable. Cummins good luck. 6BT is way to heavy for the front of that car. Might get away with 4BT weight wise.

Honestly if you have to get on a forum to ask advise about whats involved in a swap like this you don't have the skills to pull it off.

Paying pro will cost 10-20X what the car is worth.

Besides the fact that driving that thing in the nice weather with the top down wont smell to healthy.

I think I screwed up and accidently erased it. He posted the same thing in 3 places so I tried to combine them but they disappeared.
