I then test fit the Advanced Adapters bellhousing, this unit is for the 1st gen dodge cummins. It is used to convert them from original Getrag G360's to NV4500. It is part number 712584. The casting is not as clean and defined as typical OEM right cast technology castings of today, but it does look pretty good. Kind of like the castings of the 60's versus the latest stuff, so far I am quite happy with it. The clutch fork is stock 1st gen cummins, bought from local dealership.

Here is a picture of the motor mounts I am using, I procured these on ebay. I am using two of the same side mounts on both sides of my engine. I am not sure if I am using both RH's or LH's, but I know they are both the same side. I think they are 2nd gen mounts, I know they are not 1st gen mounts. I am not real knowledgeable about Dodge cummins mounts...

Subscribing to this one.

anyone found good info on a Cummins/4l80e type of swap for those considering this type of swap for similar reasons but not wanting the standard tranny?
