Motor Swap
Hey everyone my names dan. i dont own a diesel yet but i am wanting to swap my engine for a 12v cummins. my question for everyone is that my truck is a 2001 chevy HD reg cab longbed 4x4, its got the vortec 8100 (496ci)gas motor with a 6 speed manual, what i need to know is if the bell housing for a dodge 6 speed will bolt up to my tranny i know the 5 speeds are interchangable but havent heard of anybody performing the motor swap with a six speed cause i would like to keep my tranny. So any help would be appreciated.
thanks dhgreen

it should be a ZF6 if im correct, if thats the case, ford uses the same tranny in there trucks so the ford adapter should work fine, you would just need probably a different starter, possibly a ford one, as for the motor fitting it should be fine, check out this place
