I not too conserned about the downtime since I already have another 12.7 in my old truck, its more of the labor pulling it out of the old one , rebuilding, pulling the motor on the newer truck and putting the rebuilt one in, that's a lot of jinking around, so I'm not sure if it would be worth it. Plus I really don't have the ability to be pulling motors that big and moving them around in my garage( I'm sure a 12.7 is gotta weigh around 5 to 6 k and my tractor aint gonna lift that)
Out of frame rebuild

I pull them with a 5K forklift. Leave trans supported in chasis and pull most all acc because usually need good place to bolt up lifting brackets. Have a 7.5K IMT crane on service truck, but not enough ceiling clearance in my bay to lift heavier loads. Here is current job. Have any local heavy equipment guys with service truck that could pull it for you on the weekend?

Why not keep making money with it, Till it needs an OH, then do it up real good, 5.8 isn’t too bad, for a Coronado or a Classic. Pretty common. Despite all the high mpg reports heard.
