1st gen Cummins swap for an 03 lb7

Hey everyone I'm looking for advice on doing a 1st gen swap into my 03 2500 lb7, with the Alison 1000, I blew my injection pump, and the truck needs injectors,cups high pressure fuel lines. So I thought I would look into doing a 1st gen swap?

No worse than the cummins 3/4-ton std-cab frames.... also 6" channel of similar thickness.

I've been running a 4L80E for 6 years behind my CTD with out any problems. I just got the best kit I could find at the time with a Kevlar band. I run a TCI controller 1st. generation. Nobody was making much of anything at the time to run them behind the CTD. PATC makes a 1200 stall speed converter rated at 1000 HP. They also make a triple disc also. They make adapters, and controllers also. A 97 or newer would be a better trans they oil better.

GOOD LUCK

Damn I couldn't even think our count last night. I've been running that 4L80E for 13 to 14 years.

My conversion cross-member uses new O.E. Dodge 3RD Gen insulators and castings. They are far superior to the 1ST Gen style insulators in strength and vibration insulation. The polyurethane insulators are stiff and not nearly as strong, even if you put two or three on each side.

how much for the mounts? I need to get a cummins in my 88 chevy 1ton 4x4
