I was curious if anyone knew or heard of a 5.9 cummins being put into a Dodge 1 ton van, or if it's possible?

 

I think any thing is possible, you would have to modify the dog house, half the motor would be inside

 

Or - you could just pick up a Sprinter...provided you don't need to tow along 9000 lbs in addition. But they are awfully top-heavy...

How's Johnson Bible College?

 

I dont know, I just thought the idea of a van with a cummins sounded cool. It would be alot of work though and a sprinter would be easier. This isn't anything that I need, I was just curious to what some others thought, thanks though.

 

We have thought about putting a 4 bt in our 89 conversion van.

 

a cummins in a van would be way cooler than a goofy spinter, plus it's a whole lot cheaper, those sprinters cost some serious coin. If you're going to put a 6BT into the van, you might want to by stock in dynamat since it's the only way that rattle will be tolerable in the cab

 

you could use the valve cover as your arm rest, lol.

 

And the exhaust manifold as a drink/food warmer....

Have you heard of the quigley 4x4 offroad vans? They do this sort of thing, not sure if they have used a cummins though. Check out how tight this one is...

Not with a 5.9 they have the 3.0 V-6 154 hp and 280 ft lbs torque
friend bought one for for plumbing/HVAC business I drove it, thing hardly moves with all his supplies in it .

 

You can order a Ford/Chevy van with diesel engines from the factory Quigley just does the 4x4 conversion on these vehicles they also are doing a conversion on class C motor homes to 4 wheel drive. Dodge dont make the B series Vans anymore

 

Fords not putting the new 6.4l in the vans they said it wont fit. Alot of ambulance co. are upset because of all the stuff they have for the e van.
