No I haven't seen it but the going rate for the Duramax conversion is 25-30K. 50K is pretty steep.

What about the hubs, lift, tranny, half shafts, etc? Hell for 7K plus an engine I'll get my 97 done.

going labor priceon a H1 is 15K this does not include any parts. The 50k is for a plug and play package ready to drop in the truck. The price goes up do to all the parts that are normally altered in house,now have to be purchased then altered.(custom frame perches, intercooler tubes,A/C lines,custom tranny cross member ect.)I have worked with and been trained by the originater of this project for over 5 yrsand have done several H1s these builds are not easy, and also do some researce on who ever you decide to go with because I have heard and seen in person some pretty hacked vechicles

half shafts cant be done without doing the hubs,and this is a upgrade, the stock half shafts can hold up to 500HP. The lift is a must, we can get away a 1 1/2" lift in most cases and that would be in the parts pack,as well as the tranny

you can replace the upper gear in the hubs to use the12khalf shafts... alot of people are doing that but I think im going to go with new hubs when i do mine.

no need to replace the whole hub, just the inner gear
