In my opinion:
#9- 502, great. Duramax, great but a big job on the electronics. 5.9 cummins, great if you get a non-electronic version for easy install. Also, the cummins with a nv4500 5-spd. trans & 205 t-case would be a pretty easy install. A 6.2 or 6.5d doesn't compare to a duramax or cummins in power or durability so I don't recommend it. Some guys might get xxx,xxx miles out of one once in a while, but for the most part, I have seen too many with the main bearing webbing blown out of them before 150,000 miles. A 6.9, 7.3 or powerstroke FURRD- 'nuff said. Ya just don't want furrd parts in your gm- do you?

#11- th400, sm465 4-spd or nv4500 5spd, np205, d60, 14 bolt ff.

#12- I think all those mtr. home roof units are 110ac so you would need a generator.
