I am about half way thru a cummins swap on a 97 crew cab chevy. It was originally a 454 manual 4x4 truck. I am swapping in a 93 first gen cummins, reusing the chevy nv4500 and borg warner tcase. I switched the input shaft and retainer in the tranny and am running a 94-02 dodge clutch and bellhousing setup.
Cut the lip off the bottom of the frame right below the motor mounts and used counter sunk bolts on the top three differential case bolts.
Fits in pretty nice obviously cant use the dodge ac mount. So im using a freightliner mid mount ac bracket and compressor, and making some mounts to use the chevy alternator
I got a big intercooler from the yard and cut the tanks off and shortened the core hieght wise and fabed my own end tanks. Also had to open up the core support to fit the intercooler between the radiator and condenser. Decided to get a narrower radiator for easier intercooler plumbing and I didnt want to cut the main supports out of the core support.
