Ok got the engine! Its in a 78 GMC truck. My uncle is letin me get the engine for 500 BUCKS!!!! AND IT RUNS!!! I couldnt believe it when he told me how much he wanted for it cause all the ones I have seen have been anywhere from 1200 to 2500 bucks! So i thought that was pretty sweet! Ok heres the story behind the truck, my uncle bought the truck in the early 80s and it originally came with that peace of junk 5.7 diesel. Well needless to say the head gasket went. Well my dad went to work for CDC (consolidated diesel company) in 1983 when they opened the plant. Thats the Cummins plant that first produced the 4bt in 1984!! So when the 5.7 in the GMC died, my dad bought a new 105hp 4bt off the assembly line and installed it in the GMC! That truck has only god knows how many miles on it, its been used as a daily driver and a farm truck!! But its time for the cummins to have a new home!!!

Heres the tranny its an A518 overdrive. I have a rebuild kit, converter, shift kit, and an HE341 turbo (off of an 03 dodge) on the way from Diesel Nut Motorsports (great guys to deal with) I hope that stuff will be here this week!!! Then I will let you guys in on the teardown and rebuild!! The truck in the pics is the doner truck for the trans and the intercooler. I have got the engine cleaned up since the pics and I now have a low mount turbo manifold! I CANT WAIT TO GET IT IN THE TRUCK!!!
