p pump bus motor swap

Not really a Cummins swap but its a p pump motor out of a big 65 passenger bus and has the exh. manifold upside down and vacumm steering and forward facing intake horn. All the usual bus stuff. My question is what all do I need off my old motor and what do I need to buy that i dont already have to put this in my truck? Don't have time to do any research and get it in at the same time. Working 7 days and plan on doing motor after work at nights. Been looking at some stuff i have run across but need this truck running asap and need to know anything and everything Im gonna need or problems I will run into. Any tips or info u guys have will be of great help. THANKS

I if the motor is a 5.9 you can use the outer parts from the dodge motor, I used a bus motor in my 67 chevy crew cab and i used the dodge motor mounts, intake, exhaust, then i used a nv4500 from a 2001 dodge.

I know of a 92 p pumped bus motor and allison tranny I would like to get a hold of. Supposedly the number 5 cylinder is burned down and it had 169000 on it but id still like it at least just for parts. I'd say if the motor is good you might be able to swap the whole motor and change a few things to get it to work. Or you could just use the parts off it.

i was worried about the throttle setup since its a different pump and if it still had all the same sensors and hook ups.

I'm sure you could get it to work just fine just might have to change or rearrange a few things. I think the oil pans are backwards on those from our trucks too, but don't quote me. I know you can flip them and just get a different pickup tube.
