id do a p-pump swap it would prolly be cheaper then buying all the wiring i have a 180hp p pump that came out of my truck when i went to 13mm id give it to u for 600 bucks it worked fine just needed more fuel and i also have a brand new set of 150hp injectors that are made for a p pump 24v swap so u dont have to change the pistons.. they are made so the spray angle sprays in the piston bowl just like a factory injector would maybe this will help u but he is right its ALOT of work to put a 24v in a 12v shell cuz of all the wiring and 94 12v is also right if u dont have the injectors like i got and u wanna run a stock set with a p pump u are gunna need pistons and u will need lines for the swap i dont have them but i can get a nice set of stainles lines for u again hope it helps

if you have the donor truck swap out the dash and everything, then it will be the newer style. all you would have to do is pull the harness out of the donor and put it in the 96. the nice thing about cummins is that the harness is easily removed from the truck! i did it all on mine, don't know why it would be any harder to just put it in a new truck. plus while you have the dash out all the wiring would be a piece of cake, its all right there available! i say go for it, whats the worst that could happen?

i went from a manual to an auto, the wiring harness i had had 300k on it and i picked one up that only had 90k so i figured what the heck might as well swap it all out . i had to swap the clusters and everything for it to work too. wasn't bad and im no electrician! the only thing i have issues with is the cruise controll doesn't work and havn't had a chance to look into it yet. i realy don't see why there would be a huge issue with swapping it, just time and patience is all you need! with a little research and mechanical know how you can make it work easily. the harness is not as complicated as it seems, it is more of a mental issue than actually doing it, just have to jump in and tackle it.

P-pump conversion might not necessarily cheaper, if you have to find a pump, and timing cover and the list goes on

why the would you want to put a 24 valve POS in it when you can have the P7100 12valve in it with it's "tuneabilty" for less :?:

Trade the 24v for a 12v

I've only spent money on a clutch, valvesprings and exhaust... cheapest horsepower EVER !!!
