Re: Chev-odge: ‘71 K20 Cummins build
 

Nope…check picture #14. The dowel pin is still there. Thanks for tuning in!

Re: Chev-odge: ‘71 K20 Cummins build
 

Thanks!

Re: Chev-odge: ‘71 K20 Cummins build
 

great project! curious about new rods vs getting the old ones rebuilt?

Re: Chev-odge: ‘71 K20 Cummins build
 

Cool build!
Good choice to go through the Cummins now
I have a Chevy-Dodge too. Built it in 2003 using a rolled over 02 Dodge.
I used the entire drivetrain and chassis on mine- been using it for over 20 years.

Re: Chev-odge: ‘71 K20 Cummins build
 

Thanks…good question. I went with Jim’s recommendation on that one.

Re: Chev-odge: ‘71 K20 Cummins build
 

Thank you, I’ve always wanted one…how difficult was it to put the Chevy on the Dodge chassis?

Re: Chev-odge: ‘71 K20 Cummins build
 

Back at it…I wanted to locate the position of the 350’s harmonic balancer vs the frame, which then I can use in locating the Cummins.

Re: Chev-odge: ‘71 K20 Cummins build
 

I also made a note of where GM locates the engine cross member and will measure the distance from the center of the mounts to the front of the balancer, and compare that to the Cummins mount location…I’ll attempt to use the Mopar crossmember and new mounts on the project.
