Another Cummins option to consider is the 4 BT - whcih is 4 cylinder, gets excellent milage but has the less desireable rotary pump.

I have decided to go with a cummins, now I need to know whatever anyone can tell me about the conversion, 1st gen 12 valve or 2nd? I also would like to know if anyone had any ideas about connecting a 700r4 tranny to the cummins? Anything will be a help and appreciated I'm new to this but just want a diesel in my turd!
Thanks!!!!

Well Guys I came across a deal on a 99 powerstroke I couldn't pass up. So the burban conversion is off. I do appreciate all the input.
Thanks

But there's a LOT of those people out there right now. Too bad they go the easy route and don't want to learn the dynamics of engine operation.
