Re: chevy cummins swap
You're looking at a long road ahead of you.
I've seen some older GMs with the conversion, for sure. I'm thinking you'll find difficulty around every corner, with money being secondary to these issues: -weight of the cummins (chevrolet front ends are already terrible, now you're looking at a substantially heavier motor) -shoehorning that viking longblock in there -electronics. There are people who have swapped gas motors (new 6.2s into older 6.0 trucks) and there is heavy, heavy work done with the harness, ecm, bcm, etc. Now, for some real fun, youtube search for "duraburb" Hope this helps.
