Happy to Say we picked up 2 more today

Today, headed out on a 2.5hr drive to go look at a 92 cummins engine. It was at a Junkyard, well it was a really really low mile motor, but it had been in a wire fire. We ended up getting it, and also picked up another that was a 90 model, we just couldn't pass up the deal!!!!!!! It was fun seeing all the looks on peoples face with 2 cummins in the back of the truck.

So now we have 2 more chevys to convert over, these two are going in the 80's body style trucks.

We picked both of them up for $1500. I was a pretty good deal. One of them didn't have a turbo but thats no big deal.

Yeah, we did get lucky on that deal. What kind of truck are you looking for, I do happen to come across a few trucks every now and then!!!!

The first gen motors are getting cheaper and cheaper, I think everyone has written them off, thinking there is no more power left in them. I think we VE guys have been still making leaps, and I am shure very soon there is going to be another leap like the KTA head. (even thought there is still some bugs in the head) There is still a lot of good things about the VE pumps!!!!!!!

Yep just leave it up to Brian Block, he'll come up with something again that will make a giant leap.

Conversion To 12 V

Hi , I am a newbie here, I have a 1991 Chevy, 1 ton duallie. I have a thought. I am thinking of converting my chevy motor for a cummins 12 v, is this possible and if yes, how much am I going to spend on this conversion. Or should I just look for a dodge truck with a cummins diesel and be done with it. I dont use the truck very much, just form pulling a slide in camper and pulling my jeep, for jeeping down here in Texas. With camper on about 6 times a year, jeeping with camper about 4 times a year, any help out there would be appreciated. I don't want to spend big bucks for a new diesel, since I dont pull a lot. Thanks everyone, Zarr
