Re: Cummins in a c10????

Here is another thread where he gives more detail to what he did to the truck.

And in case you're wondering, the motor mounts he used come from 1990-1993 dodge cummins you can get at any parts store. I used those on my brother's 84 K20 and I have 2 per side on my corvette.

If I did it I'd reduce weight in the front end as much as possible: fiberglass fenders and hood, move the batteries to the bed, put the fuel tank behind the rear wheels etc......

I'm not really interested in the 4cyl cummins (4bt), I want this to be faster than my 383, and I'm planning on modding the 6cyl. from what I've found, the 4bt can't take much more than 200hp, the 6bt on the other hand..........

thanks for the input!!

I have a c20 1969 with a 12v 5.9 cummins, 5 spd with gear vendors od
