Hello all I just acquired my first patrol last week and I really want to put a 6.6ltr duramax in it but my mate keeps telling me I would run a too big of a risk of flipping it 4wding up hills, I cant seem to find anyone else that's put a duramax in a SWB patrol anywhere I'm thinking maybe because my mate might be right? Can someone please tell me my mate is wrong so I can start building it haha. Thanks in advance 🤙
G’day mate welcome aboard.
Yeah, dunno, I reckon you should go for it and let us know lol 😂
Any powered SWB can honestly/scarily flip on decent gnarly incline tracks if you’re not steady on the peddle, they physics wise do have a disadvantage in length against LWB mountain climbers.
A GU Duramax Weapon SWB cleverly driven could score some serious points though on the sandy flat stuff [emoji123][emoji123][emoji106][emoji106]

I hope you have deeeeeeep pockets!
:jawdrop:
So Duramax it is then haha, I'll be starting the build in a few months I'll keep you guys updated with how I go. Thanks for getting back to me
A ‘White’ GQ Shorty too, haven’t seen one of them in years, it’s gonna be a Fair Dinkum Beast Mate [emoji123][emoji123][emoji106][emoji106]
EDIT: You’ll definitely have to change your Forum name @GU.SWB Mate [emoji106][emoji106] It’s gonna be a serious tight squeeze in a GQ, looking forward to the build [emoji120][emoji120]

Definitely worth watching this Legend’s build/s @GQ.SWB Mate [emoji106][emoji106]

Most notably the oil filter adaptions to squeeze a Duramax into a GU, if we can put a man on the moon, someone like your good self can Duramax the sh@t out of a GQ Shorty [emoji120][emoji120]

Good luck. If I could make one recommendation, look strongly at a wider radiator as I regret now going the extra 75mm per side that is possible with minimal modes - certainly room to do it - have a look as it will convert to a big amount of extra core to help shed those KW's. Eagerly await your updates.
@MB I was originally going to do a ls conversion on a GU so now I'm always getting GQ and GU mixed up ��*♂️ I got no idea how to change it either.
Thanks PeeBee I'll write that on my list now, cheers
@AB, @MudRunnerTD can you assist with this name change request?
This is also a really good one for some helpful info. .
