Many of you have seen my threads on my Father-in-laws pickup that we have yanked a 360 V8 out of and installed a 12V Cummins in it. This has been a true family project with very little outside help. We have read the manuals for wiring specs until our eyes crossed and finally one step at a time we figured out how to make it work like factory. Here are some beginning pictures for those that have not seen it.

 

Please be patient I am loading pics as quick as I can.

 

I am sorry that my video skills are about a 1.5 out of 10, but here is a shot of the dash, followed by a running shot of the engine. I have a very slow drive away clip, I don't think my Father in law wanted to show off for the camera.

 

Now you need to get some pictures of that bad boy muddin!

 

...epic...

 

very very Cool!

 

I know I have not made the story real interesting, but the work that we have put forth into his truck has been well worth it. A small list of extras that have been installed include an Airdog 150 fuel pump, a 4" Diamondeye exhaust, a custom intake tube with an AFE air filter and a custom cut fuel plate. Custom items built by Ben (Brother-in-law) include engine and transmission mounts, crossmember on the frame under/behind the oil pan and the intercooler tubes. There are a few parts gathered from the local scrapyard (electric fan, coolant/washer jug and A/C lines that could be modded) to save a few dollars. Everything on this truck is fully functional down to the A/C and cruise control. After it is said and done I am proud to say I was a part of this project and glad I can show it off for him.

 

I don't think it would go far being a 2WD.

 

lol, you would be amazed what you would get through at 60mph, just remember you might not reach the other side with every part remaining

 

mad props man. go steal the truck from him and give us a smoke show!!! (tires and exhaust)
