My nephew has the bombing bug and is thinking of a cummins swap to his Ferd pickup. Is there anyone or a website that has measurements like height, width & length at various locations. And what does a Cummins weigh, I heard it's right at 1000 pounds...that would be 350 more than his old FE . I told him if he got one I'd find a way to put it in and work. My fear is traction(lack of) and the starter being so low mounted. Of course he'd be getting GSK, and injectors and a couple other bombs ;D. My mental gears are turning and the cost of the little things is going up fast!

Question # 2: Does a 1st gen auto work well with a gen 2? Like is it any different using the 518 vs a 47rh..it doesnt really need lockup and the extra wiring of such.

To help you out somewhat a cummins motor weighs in a 1400lbs. Dont know the height width and other but I know it ways 1400 and it can be put in a stock ford frame with little bit of moving around.<br>SD03

I went out and measured mine, but didn't know if there was any real figures. I rounded to the next higher inch for error factor. It would be really neat to see, it's a '72 F100 shortbed. I told him about brake upgrades, at least a Dana 70 or GM 14 bolt, Linkages, and the can of worms to get it done.I still don't think it can be done for $3k(excluding engine/trans/ &amp; rearend). He wants the least expected way to blow someone away, well that and he really likes black smoke! :

Went and looked, the isb, dry, with accessories weighs 964 pounds. Info from cummins commercial engine section.

Even if you upgrade springs and everything to hold it up, will the F100 frame even handle the torque. I used to have a 79 F100, 302, 3spd, it wouldn't pull the hat off your head even in a strong wind. It would be ugly to see him punch it and the Ford be twisted like a worm in the sunshine

That's what I've been thinking. Besides the fact that anyone that has a Cummins laying around either has plans for it or wants too much$$$$ for it :. Maybe he'll like a 514 big block stroker instead. I think the cost would kill the Idea, since he has $3k to do it all :-X. A buddy of mine has a couple brand new ISB's &amp; they're a pretty penny!!!!
