I still think once a decent aftermarket for the Titan gets bigger, the balance will shift. The Endurance is just begging to be opened up and let loose. Just imagine a Titan with cams, (notice I said, CAMS-plural) exhaust, CAI, and a decent programmer....WOW  or...OR...a turbo, programmer and exhaust!! |
I agree, not easy work...but numerous people have done it...however, the ones doing it are true truck enthusiasts...and a motor swap is not all that gets done..check out performancetrucks.net...
take a reg cab chevy with a 5.3...good for 15.0 sec 1/4 bone stock...now swap for a 6.0...now good for a 14.5. add CAI, exhaust, custom tune, and a converter (and some good tires) and you have a 13.5 sec truck...
The SS is an idea, but a lot of extra money for all the extra bells and whistles...
