1988 F350 Cummins, NV5600, 241HD T-case conversion

Sooooo, the time has come to start my conversion.

Here's the truck:
1988 F350 currently has 351, C6 auto, ?? T-Case, KP Dana 60 Front, 10.25 rear
4.10 gears, Detroit locker in rear, front is open.

Found a complete wrecked (running) 2004 Ram 3500 4x4, 5.9 Cummins, NV5600 6 Speed, NP241HD for a song and a dance.

The swap will start as soon as I can get the Dodge home and the front clip off of it.

A few questions for those who have done this.

1. Who has the best "kit" to do this as far as motor mounts and such?
2. Who is going to be my best bet as far as the wiring harness being built?
3. How much of a pain in the edit is this really gonna be????

I know I should have gone the 12 valve route, but I just could not pass this deal up. The motor has 13,000 miles on it, along with a South Bend clutch before it was wrecked. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I don't know if your specific question will be answered, but this is a good site for ford/cummins swaps...

I've been looking around over there, also sent beans diesel an e-mail. Hopefully can get some answers soon. I love this truck, and sold my 01 Cummins to do this conversion, so money really isn't the problem here. I want it done right, and if that means swallowing my pride and having someone with experience do the work and make it run and look good so be it.
