Does anyone know of anyplace (websites, shops, whatever) to get swap parts for a Cummins going into a '90 fullsize, 1 ton GMC/Chevy? I have the engine and trans, 6BT/Allison auto., but if I can't find anything to do it I guess it's not worth it. I just really need engine and transmission mounts, the rest is no problem. Thank you if anyone can help.

fordcummins.com might be able to help you i think he does chevy too

 

sorry about being repetative im computer illiterate

 

I checked them out and the only thing they were showing was a swap into a K-5. I tried checking ChevyCummins.com and it said the site was under construction. Thanks for the help though.

 

Try cummins-conversion.com. Your type of swap has been done many times; there should be a lot of info out there.

www.destroked.com has many cool adapters and stuff. Mostly geared towards Ford swaps, but you might find some useful stuff.

 

Thanks guys.

theres a guy on ColoradoK5.com that manufactures swap parts for cummins to chevy swaps like motor mounts and dropped engine crossmembers bolt in stuff.
I plan to get some swap parts from him to convert my new to me '97 crewcab dually.
i've chattedf with him a couple times seems like a straight shooter.

I can find his email if you want.

 

Yeah, thanks that would be great.

 

You can buy as set from a guy on 4btswaps.com named scott. He goes by CrewCab59. He also sells a front crossmember or you can modify your own. It will have to be dropped about 4 inches in the middle to get good clearance. The tranny mounts will prolly be on you. If you have a welder and some patients it is not too bad. I built all of my mounts in about a half day from scratch. I use cardboard to make templates and get them perfectly fit first.
The way I did it was starting with the engine crossmember modification. Next you have to get the engine and transmission mocked up using jacks or wood blocks. I just used wood blocks under the pan and on the sides to wedge it. Before setting the engine in I bolted 1/4" plate to the engine so I had something to weld to. Then I made carboard templates to fit in the factory GM isolators. Last I cut them from steel and bolted them to the frame and welded it to the engine plates. I picked up the engine and removed the mounts for final welding and gussets.

I can send you picks if you want, or post them here.

 

Yes the guy on ColoradoK5 is Crewcab59..........same guy I'm sure.

 

He's been on here as well. Was asking about some delivery valves out of a 4bt p-pump, if I recall.

 

I am interested in the details of a 4BT or similar swap. I don't need much more power than the stock 6.5 offers. I want something more dependable and easier to work on. I also want to get away from the L480E's

 

Could you give me some details on your Allison auto?
4 speed?
Part number or what it is called.
I've always been a GM guy and don't know much about other manufacturers engines, Trans etc.
