i love that red chevy long time!

 

its for sale in california.

 

I'm all the way in florida....no money....no job...and im only 15...i wouldnt be able to get it i want it so bad though......if i had the money and some way to ship it here id drop a badass big block in it, mount up some tsl boggers and hit the hole with it though

 

well i got it running yesterday!!!!!! wiring is done and routed nicely. just a couple more splices before i can loom it all up. fenders are now in intercooler tubes are on it (painted the same color green the truck is going to be). and it is all together and running. hope you guys like it





here is the wiring at the start its a big mess



---AutoMerged DoublePost---

here are some more pics of it assembled:

dual batterys are run all electrical is working and all the gauges work as well



more pics of engine bay (gotta paint the other intercooler tube still



here is how we ran the wires to the factory ecm.


i still have to go through the factory chevy harness and delete out the wires that wont be used. and then i can loom it all up.

all the wait to start, water in fuel, oil pressure, electrical, intake heaters, all the sensors and everything work. this thing screams when it runs

 

SWEET project!! Looks awesome so far!

It's cool to see more of these around. I'd also love to do a 73-87 K30 cummins swap.

 

Nice i would like to do the same to my S-10 sometime soon.

 

i have a chevy 6.5 turbo diesel 5 speed and i am looking at putting a cummins 1st gen in it. i can get the motor for $800 how long will it take me to do the swap and what are some of the problem fitting it ill have lots more question when i get it i want to start the project after new years so ill have more questions then

 

Nice work man, thanks for all the pics, I've got an 89 here I'm about to do the same thing. Keep us updated By the way I often wondered if the cheapy engine stand could hold a Cummins. I've got a block only on mine, I was afraid to try to build the whole motor on it. Not anymore

 

I think i want to put a common rail in one of these ext short bed bodies, that'd be sweet

 

i bought a COMPLETE truck for my swap, and im just shy of 15,000 dollars invested. the cummins oil pan will not clear the stock ifs in a 4wd youll have to straight axle it as well. took about 4 months and 1000's of hours. if you dont have time or money, dont try, it isnt for the faint hearted

what cheap engine stand are you talkin about that is a 700 dollar NORCO USA built engine stand made of all 1/4" steel with heavy duty casters
