It's not REALLY a first-gen Cummins... it's a W150, but I'll be doing a diesel swap into it eventually. What do ya'll think?

 

That'll be sweet!! You goin with the 4 cylinder or the 6?

 

will be awsome truck once ya get it diesel powered. right now it just looks good

 

Definately a 6. I'm not sure though... I know the 4BT's can make good power too...

I'm only looking for around 450-500 quick-spooling hp with it. I'm thinking I'll go with either a VE or P-pumped 6 and a smallish set of compounds. I'm going to try to find a P-pumped of course, but if I can't, then I'll use the VE. I know where a full CR motor is, but I think it needs a rebuild...

 

Your probably gonna have to beef up the front suspension with the 6. Its a heavy beast

 

Anyone know the weight on it? I would most likely swap over to SuperDuty axles.

 

around 1150 iirc for just the motor. then the heavier trans, depending on which one u go with

 

OK... So about 600 more than the current motor... Hmm... I think the springs will be OK... But the D44 may not be....

 

Not sure I like the idea.

 

Which one JD?
