Choate Engineering's 6.6L Model C Long Block is an upgraded version of the OE 6.6L LML, elevating the 6.6L Duramax to new heights with their 6.6L Model C Long Block. Choate Engineering solves the potential issue that plagues the OE 6.6L head gaskets. The head gaskets would fail due to the variable geometry vane turbo. Thus, Choate installs head studs standard with the 6.6L LML, to ensure the engine does not blow head gaskets. Choate Engineering's 6.6L Model C Long Block takes the legendary 6.6L Duramax and improves upon its legacy, making for the perfect replacement engine.
