Im still on the edge on what to put in my 69... 350 sbc,454 bbc, or the cummins like you. Its gonna be my daily driver so i dont really want the 454 because i wont get good mpgs but i really have no experience with the cummins i mostly work on ford 7.3s. Has anyone ever put a 7.3 in one of these?

You couldn't pay me to install a 7.3 in anything. Ever. I even debated removing the 7.3 from my 02 super dooty and replacing it with something more efficient.

If you're looking for an easy swap in a daily driver, look no further than a 5.3 out of a early 2000's silverado/tahoe/suburban. They are not DBW and average 17-20 mpg in these old trucks.
