Building a cummins and have lots of questions
I have a 96 cummins motor that I wanna build I would like to send it out and get it bored out and have crank turned. Also put a cam in it and obisly do the head. So one of my questions is will my 96 motor bolt up to my 94 cummins tranny? Also what cam should I go with because I still wanna drive it on the steer and pull with it. And also what should I do with injector pump? Also what injectors to get? Some feed back would be great thanks!

Ok. So I could just take that off my 94 motor then? What do u think about motor should I go that far with it or should I just stud the bottom end and redo the top?

have the crank looked at, do not turn it if it does not have to be, what ever mechanic told you that, well he should not be giving advise.
why do you want to bore out the block, this is not a gas engine, if the bores are fine, just deglaze them and move on.
don't waist money, do things like, dynamic balance the crank with pistons, get a new cam, one good turbo or compounds.
in my opinion, do not port or polish the head, I have had and still have issues with enough air on low side, I had to put compounds on just so that I don't smoke out the sun, put a good set of marine pistons in, lower the compression by the piston, not the head, you can look into head bolts, but I have really good luck with stock marine head bolts.
