Diesel Power magazine (Jan 2012) features a Cummins conversion on a '91 Suburban. ("Doomsday Diesel"). They use a crossmember by: http://www.screaminseemanoffroad.com/home.shtml

For 5spd, you can use the Dodge's Getrag/NP205 combo (probably easiest) or adapt an NV4500 to your existing NP205.

Check out the "Cummins Conversions" forum near the bottom of the main forums page. Should be able to find info in there about your wanted swap.
