New Project Cummins Swaped Lambo
 

Hi
We are Italian Design and Racing based out of Mesa, Arizona and mainly do automotive racing but we were able to acquire a special project for a diesel conversion that will ultimately be our new shop truck. We specialize in custom fabrication but something over 3000 pounds is new to us and especially the diesel side of things.

About 2 years ago we bought a 1989 Lamborghini LM002 that had the original engine pulled out to put a Mercedes 5 cylinder in. When we got it we knew that wasn't the direction that we wanted to go so we made our measurements and landed on a common rail cummins. We are looking to take it to Sema either 2018 or 2019 depending on how funds and parts work out for this thing, but either way we are continuing forward on it. As it sits we have the engine mounted and a trans is on the way, so hopefully everything runs smoothly from here (which never happens!).

A few questions that we have come into so far is:
1. What harness modifications are needed?
2. Who makes the best adapter plates to run a Ford ZF5 behind the common rail?

I'm sure there will be plenty more as the build progresses but we've got to start somewhere! I'll post some pictures of it soon

Thanks Guys!
