Try autoworldmt.com. this guy is good. Im doing a cummins swap on a 69 custom camper. just a word of caution the 6BT is heavy 1100# or so, not just any engine hoist can hold one. What exact engine are you going for?

Mosesburb has put one in his 72 K-20 Suburban.. There's a good build thread that covers it.

Bump. Update: i bought a 93 dodge cummins, intercooled rotary pump with a 5-speed Getrag two wheel drive guy. now that i have driven it a little i gotta have it in the ol' chevy

my main concern with all of this is getting all the little stuff right and the fact that is is so heavy. my truck has the heavy front coils in it. do you think that will be enough?
