Cummins into a 67-72 C20

[pulltilbroke]

Just wondering if anyone here has put a 6bt in to a 67-72 c20, How easy was the swap how much fabrication is involved(I'm not afraid of fabbing stuff up)

I got a spare motor and a rebuilt NV4500 and was having some Ideas[duhhh]

This truck will get used as a daily driver and a tow rig for my 1st gen puller

This is what were startin with

well how about i come to your place help you fab that engine in and everything. we take the 518 tranny out of my truck swap it on to your chevy cummins and put that nv4500 in my truck and you would have a nice daily driver and i would be able to hold goood power! if your interested i can weld fab and everything. oh and i have a plasma cutter also lol

Well because its a 2wd 4500

What would I do with a slushbox anyway

But if you wanna help I sure wouldn't object

BTW this project is still in the research and planning stages

ahh well dang i was hoping for a yes! lol well actually this auto is holdin pretty dang good so far. doesnt slip or anything. just did the 366 this weekend adn she is holding that power for now lol but back to the truck. you should have plenty of ehgine height to work with adn lenght since those truck were available with big blocks. only thing i would check is the front cross member or k member what ever ya wanna call it. to see how high it sits cause its a 2 wheel right? so it may be higher than nornal. so would have to check height of the cummins valve cover to oil pan and see if the hood will close then take some 94 and up engine mounts fab thsoe on to the cross member and you would be half way there. worst case senario is a cowl hood for it and maybe some tranny hump pounding or reworking. and maybe some stiffer springs up front for the cummins compared to a 500lb big block. and if ya need soem help with anything shoot me a pm or email and i can check my books lol

Yeah the K Frame is what I'm researching with little luck, the rest of the swap will be simple
