My 88 crew cab dually 12v cummins/nv4500 swap. Update 12-23-13

I finally picked up a donor truck for my cummins swap for my 88 crew cab and got the motor and trans pulled last weekend. While the motor and trans are at my buddies getting gone through with all new gaskets and seals I plan to start pulling the 454/400 combo from my 88. I have a few questions and if anyone has done this your help is much appreciated. I plan on buying a motor mount kit that will allow the cummins to bolt to my stock gm motor mounts and will build my own trans mount. My biggest question is should I use a stock clutch pedal assembly from a square body and then mount my dodge slave in the firewall and hook it to the gm pedals. I also plan to use the dodge radiator and intercooler with gm electric fans from a 06 chevy truck. My other big question is has anyone used the factory high mount a/c brackets from cummins powered ford f800 instead of notching the frame and if so did they run into any other problems. If anyone has any recommendations on how to make this go easier than I may be making it please let me know.

Now on to the pics
