67 C20 body 72 k20 drivetrain with a 5.9 cummins

[blackscout]

Hello Everyone, been awhile since I’ve been on here. I pulled the dying 350 out of my K20 and now I need direction. My beautiful 67 k20 has been sitting for too long. I got another 350 for her but haven’t got it in yet.

A couple years ago I bought a 90 dodge D20 with a really good cummins in her. Reason I’m posting is because I really want the K20 to have the Cummins. I am here to ask what is the consensus on the best way to do this swap? Should I swap the K20 body on the full dodge chassis? Or just swap the motor? I think I have heard the frame of the K20 would need reinforcement for the 6BT. I’m looking to try to figure out the best way to complete this task. Those of you with experience what say you?

There is a forum for the Diesel conversions. Not much traffic there but you might find some information by scanning through the relevant posts.

I swapped the my 72 body onto a 2002 dodge chassis in 2003. It’s a lot of work but it seems to work well
