i traded for a 24v cummins 4wd dually with a 5spd manual tranny. the front axle is broke in half so i am wanting to put the motor and tranny in my 1985 3/4ton chevy. what would woud i need to do to make this work? i know the trasnfer case out put shafts are on different sides? what do do you need to make the engine run as far as the wire harness goes? and if anyone is interested i will be parting the rest of the truck out im in the west tn area

 

if i was you i would fix the front axle if thats all thats wrong and if you dont like that answer i would pm screaminseema he is the cummins swap gura he even can get parts for the exchange

 

this truck doesnt have a title. owner left it at my place of work 5 years ago and never came back for it and we went through the trouble of making sure it was ok to sell but just didnt mess with gettin the title exchanged and ive really been looking for something to go under the hood of my old chevy to make it run good with 42" tall tires figured the diesel would do better

just make sure you get the harness, ecu, trans, rad and intercooler out of the dodge, and might even want to keep the dodge instrument cluster as well.

The 24 valve is pretty easy to make run stand alone. Some quality time with a schematic and you will have it whipped. The early Chevy's have a passenger side transfer case output. Dodge switched to the driver side output in 94. There are plenty of options for using the Dodge NV4500 with a Pass. side drop transfer case. It really depends on what you are willing to spend, and what you are going to use the truck for. You can use the Dodge CAC in your truck, but there is a considerable amount of radiator support modifications to make it fit. As far as mounting the engine, I build Conversion motor mounts/cross-member for your swap. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

the truck has 42" swampers under it with 4:11 gears in the axles. i mainly just drive the truck around town and to work its a mud boggin or truck pulling truck. but id like it to pull real good. what do you get for your engine mounts?

 

It is $499 plus shipping.

 

An NP205 out of a first gen would bolt right up to that NV4500. You would just have to make up the linkage.

 

where could i gain information on wiring up the 24v engine to run? or where is the best place to get a wire diagram that could help me do away with what i dont need
