Re: CUMMINS swap in my 71
I have about 10 - 4bts and 3 6bt's along with tons of parts. I install these in m715 army trucks. In fact i have everything needed to 'bolt" in a 6bt or 4bt in a chevy chassis with all cummins-gm parts( from adapter, starter, engine mounts, lord mounts, chassis mounts & all fasteners needed). Nothing fabed up i,ll sell if anybody wants to do this job correctly.
Bob

Re: CUMMINS swap in my 71
It looks like it has been a while, so is there any progress on the 71?
I'm doing one in a 67, so keep up posted !
