I have been thinking about it for a while instead of building the turbo motor just doing a cummins swap. Good power tons of torque and well better gas mileage. (so Ive heard)

Im not sure which one to go with so I do believe I would like to go with the easier one to swap in seeing as I will try to do it all myself and Im no mechanic, but will have one close.

The main reason is there is a issue with my motor and its in a bad spot right now and my rebuild will be high so that s why the swap came up what do yall think?

Rebuild a 318 or cummins swap? And which one?

 

It is cheaper and easier to just sell your truck, and buy one with a cummins already in it... Not a trivial undertaking. Not to mention that the diesel weighs quite a bit more, and that will take a toll on the front end... it really isn't designed to deal with that much weight.

If you want to do the swap anyway..... getting a wrecked truck with the engine you want, that is the same OBD version that you have would make it easiest. Finding one is the fun part...

 

my brother is helping me put the other motor in today.

 

So it's not a "maybe" anymore. You already found one.

 

Can I get an update I want to do it to my dodge ram100
