ok got my truck paid off finally. But now i wanna spend more money, i'm stuck i don't know if i should take the time and lots of money and work to swap a cummins motor in the truck (my uncle did it says its not a hard swap) or look into getting the banks sidewinder kit? any advice?

 

Cummins swap would be a nice project. Lots more potential than a 6.2L.

 

yea i know i would like to find a p-pump 12valve, i love those old motors.

 

before the block cracks you should get a cummins in there.

 

wheres a good place to try to find a cummins motor and all the stuff i need to make it run? i want the p-pump 12valve motor. and what about a tranny for it? my uncle said it was a chore making the chevy speedo work with the dodge tranny....is there a kit to bolt a 4l80e to it?

 

Here is a good place to do researchCummins 4BT Forums - Powered by vBulletin


It has an are for the 6bt cummins as well as other conversions.

 

thats another idea put a 4bt into it, i see them all the time bolted to 4l80e's i believe on ebay from bread trucks

 

i always thought a 6v53 detroit would be a cool swap

 

Yep the good old Cummins 12v, add on twin turbos, a 4" exhust, and bigger injectors.

 

Hey, I love the old 6.2's. You can build it up, get some lower compression pistons, throw a turbo on it, and you'll be blowing off the doors of a 4bt. Sure its not as heavy duty, but its way way cooler. IMHO!
