Cummins in a c10????
Has anyone ever put a 6cyl 12v cummins in a 1/2 ton pickup????? I'm not so much concerned with the engine fitment(I know it will fit), but it weighs 1100 pounds and a big block weighs about 700. will the frame have to beefed up??? how much will it drop the front-end?????
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!!
