Thanks. I found a cross member from a company making swap kits ( avalanche engineering i think)they wanted 800$!!!! They sent me a pic and it's just a piece 3/16 plate with 2 bends!! That's nothing but pure taking advantage of people. I made this for 17$.

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

avalanche engineering went under there is two more places that make one but not as pricey as they was.

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

Auto world has a nice cross member for these trucks. Way nicer than the avalanche one by far.

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

Yeah i like auto world one too other option is http://www.tndieselpower.com/site/pr...ember-package/

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

I used autoworld mounts. That's not a bad price for the mount and member kit. I believe my mounts were around 300$. But I made a template for next time.

I build my own brackets but use auto world's poly mounts. Do you plan to do anything to the engine while it's out? KDP fixed?

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

I bought the whole truck that was totaled. The motor has a ton of stuff done to it injectors, pump work, delivery valves, hybrid turbo, head studs, cam, timing, flywheel, low stall converter, tranny valve body and shafts. It made several ponies in his truck and would honestly black out both lanes of the interstate. The kdp struck him a few years ago.

you may have posted...but,i didn't see it..........what cummins is that ?
looks good so far

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

I'm fitting the intercooler today did u use the dodge? That's what I'm doing and it fits pretty sweet when I flip it upside down and not much cutting. Did u leave the brace out for the hood latch? It's weak as hell without it but nowhere to mount it with the cooler in the way

I flipped my intercooler upside down. I also left the bracket and the safety latch out.

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

Got the intercooler mounted today. I have an Idea I want to run by everybody. I have 2 3/4 inches between the radiator and intercooler. If I mount the fan in front of the radiator and wire it to push will it still draw enough air for the intercooler? I'm keeping the engine compartment as clean as possible by hiding everything wiring, batteries etc. just thought that would be great to even hide the fan.

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

It could but I generally mount them on the engine side so the fans don't over heat. Usually there isn't room to mount them in front. By the way, where you have that breather on your vacuum pump is actually your outlet for the vacumm accessories.

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

Yea I know I'm not running any vacuum on anything. Using hydro boost. Didn't know what else to put on it to keep the dirt out.

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

Are any of your a/c controls vacuum? Or does your truck have no a/c?

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

No a/c.

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

I just got done cutting the supports on the inside of the core support out, so the intercooler is now sitting in there, right in front of the radiator. that way I don't have to trim the grille this time.
only thing I would do different on the crossmember is make it removeable from the bottom. I didnt' on my last one, and had to cut it in two to get the oilpan off, so its getting rebuilt differently this time around.

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

Oh yea, how did you make your engine cover? thats sweet. need to do something like that on my motor.

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

Cab finally done starting to look like something. Exhaust half done. boost tubes done.

I ground the dodge letters off. Then just used filler over it and had the local sign maker cut me a decal.

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

Working on the radiator and fan. The rad will be here Monday I was planning on running dual 14" electric fans in between the inter cooler and radiator. But I'm thinking I might get lucky and use a stock fan and clutch. I don't have the original cummins hub it was busted and trashed but does anyone know the total thickness of the entire assembly??

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

did you use the PATC mounts? If so, what do you think of them? How is the fitment of the motor in the engine bay/ firewall? thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics

Re: '84 k30 cummins swap build pics
 

After taking almost a year off I'm finally getting back to finish this truck. Lift, rear disc, Yukon axles, drive shafts made, 1410 yokes throughout, painless harness, mile maker hubs, rebuilt front & rear diffs. Just a few more wires to run and truck will be done. Then time to tackle the rest of the body panels.
