A buddy of mine wants me to help him drop a 91 CTD into an 87 Chevy Crew cab. Save your Chevy hate for someone else. I just want some visual aids for the conversion and maybe some pointers on typical problems encountered with remidies. He plans on using the original 5 speed. We need to find a way to mate a trans case. I figured we could run the stock t-case divorsed or something of that nature. The Chevy has a 6.2 with a TH400. Will the TH400 hold up to his young heavy foot? What kind of wiring issues will I run into? The donor motor( still running in the 2wd D250) looks real plain and simple. Looks can be decieving though. I have searched this subject here and all over the internet. It just isn't real popular and not posted with any real detail from what I have found.
Thanks,
Steve

Auto world in Great Falls Montana does Chevy/ cummins conversions and they sell motor mounts for 88-2000, but it depends on what year your cummins is 89-93 12valve have two types of mounts, the 94-98.5 have a different one but it is the same as the 24 valve. FordCummins.com sells chevy kits as well, Good Luck

I'm not having much luck here. Any advice on search modification for me? Or other sites that might have what I need. The sites listed above aren't detailed enough. I would really like some pics.

The **** idiot went out and traded the 2wd Dodge for an 06 mega cab 4x4 6 spd. I guess I don't have to do the conversion. He had to play keeping up with the Jones'. **** kids are so impatient.
