Hi everyone. I'm doing a Cummins swap into my 1980 Powerwagon that has 12" of lift on it with 40" Boggers. The entire suspension and diffs are built with Yukon Chrome moly shafts, CTM u-joints and Detroit lockers. My old 360 is way too tired and I'm putting in a good ol' 89 Cummins. The only problem is that I have NO experience with the first gen 12 valves. I am used to the VP trucks and the CR trucks. Can someone point me in the right direction with power upgrades??? Will I be OK with the truck not being intercooled for offroading. That's all this truck does is offroad through huge mudbogs, through the bush and so on...

Thanks for any tips or suggestions....:cool:

First and foremost if you haven't already get at least a pyro and boost guage then check out the top of the page "sticky" and proceed to the performance section and have at it. Since you are putting in a 89 non ic engine you are going to have a larger injector then what comes in a ic engine which means you can feed more fuel to it and in turn get more power. Read over the sticky then if there are things you need clarification on just ask. It is simply amazing the "FREE" power you can get from a VE engine.

Hope this helps a little.
