Replacing 8.1 Chevy with a Cummins

A friend of mine has a 2001 or so Chev or GMC 1 ton with the 8.1 gasser/Automatic

It spun a bearing and the engine is toast at about 165,000 miles.

Anybody do a Cummins conversion on one of these?

These are links to a local (to me) shop that has worked on over 250 repowers since '89. They might be able to assist you.
