You better get a different front suspension along with disc brakes on it, the v8 will propell it pretty good, but that cummins weigh a ton and has a !@#load of tourque.

yes the frame and springs cannot handle 1000+ pounds, the flathead this came with is around 500 lb. a 270 ohv GMC is 675--about the same as a BBC
