converting a gas to a diesel
 

help! I have a 1988 dodge W350 dullie dump with a 360 gas 4 sp manual I also have a 1991 dodge 250 with a cummins automatic both four wheel drive . I bought the 91 for the motor to make the 88 a diesel .Side by side looks cut and dry how ever i know ill run into problems with the transmissions . I want to keep the 88 a stick and i know the 4sp wont work + the 88 has 456 gears so im thinking of converting to a NV4500 or 5600 .What parts do i need and where can i get them .Can anyone help or point me in the right direction ? Is there kits available ? Please help ! Got a couple leads on transmissions but thats about it .THANKS

:hi: check out the diese conversion section

Everything was pretty much mechanical then, so you won't be chasing many electrical gremlins. Now as far as the transmission, find a wrecked truck that has the diesel and a manual transmission. You can get the tranny and adapter plate, and you'll be that much closer to finishing the conversion.

:hi: Jump right in and enjoy the site.. :c:

you shouldnt need an adapter plate to get the 4500 to work with the cummins, just the bell housing make sure its for a stick shift and you should be good to go,



Good luck and Welcome to DB:howdy:
