swapping in a cummins for international gas pot
So heres the deal, picking up a 1978 International loadstar 1600 dump truck, currently has a v8 gasser engine and 5 speed tranny.
What I would like to do is stuff a 5.9 cummins out of an old beat to hell dodge in it.
What I'm curios about is whether or not the original transmission will bolt up to the cummins or will I need to find a bell housing or swap in the trany while I'm at it.
Or should I punt and go with the 6.9/7.3 idi out of a ford (international motor) since they are cheaper anyways and I'm already running 2 of em.
