SFBD square with a Cummins and custom chassis

Thanks bear!! I'm loving this diesel even though it's in a dodge lol. I can't wait to get it in the
Dually.

They make motor mounts and a plate to bolt that motor to a Chevy trans already

very good trade,,,,, it takes guts to rip apart a good running dodge truck just for the powertrain....::O:

but i would do the same thing if i had the chance... lmao

dont forget to lock that dowel near the camgear

Thanks guy. For the sake of my budget I'm going to run the dodge auto for now. It got rebuilt with a alot of after market stuff when the engine did about 5k-10k miles ago. The dodge trans is an od also so thatll be a nice change from the 400. Hopefully when the dodge trans blows to shit I'll have the cash to put a 4L80 behind the cummins.
As for the dowel pin of death as they call it, it was tied down when the engine got rebuilt. So it should be good now.
I got my frame flipped and the entire under side welded up today. I'm going to try and do the sides tomorrow. Just have to plate the z at the shop after that. I've got the cross member out and cleaned up. I'm try to wait to paint it in case I notch it for the cummins.
I can't wait to tear into this POS dodge. I just keep finding more and more parts on it I can use. I noticed today that someone put some nice aftermarket blacked out cab lights on it. Those are going to have a nice new home a top the dually cab lol.

This guy makes mounts for your swap

theres someone on the big forum doing a swap on an older style truck as whell

The only thing I'm nervous about it all the clearance with the firewall, hood, and especially my intercooler piping. I'll run a cowl hood to have a cummins but all the piping might get interesting. I also have to figure out a plan for a fuel tank. I don't think there are any kind of pumps in the dodges fuel tank. I think its all brought to the motor by the lift pump but I could be wrong about that. I do know that the dodge has had a newer tank swapped in it at some point and none of the wires on the tank are hooked up right now.
I did figure out that the dodge has a Dana 70 in the rear also with 3:55 gears a locker. I'm going to look into swapping the 3:55 into my dually and getting rid of the low ass gears that are in it right now. Not sure if I can do that either but we'll see.

i wonder if you can fit the hubs from youre 14 bolt dually axle on the dana
the eaziest way would be to make the dana a dually axle and swap it complete , tuning the gears in a diff is pretty precice work do it wrong and it starts humming louder than mud and snow tires on the highway

The reason I think swapping the gears might work is my dually was one of them that came with a Dana 70 instead of the GM 14 bolt. Hopefully since their both Dana the ring and pinion can be switched over.
