Re: 1989 Suburban "V Rig" Gets Cummins Power

I got a new A/C compressor and mounted it so I can get a belt for it. i also ran into another issue. I had planned on running the stock upper intake from the 93 Dodge truck. Wrong. The stock dodge elbow points straight into the chevy master cylinder and you can't get the charge pipe in there. So, I had to use a 2nd gen 12v intake horn. And again, another problem. They were designed for P-pump configurations, not VE rotary pump engines. The 2nd gen style has an ear coming off the intake bolting farther forward to help support the intake and on some providing a mounting point for the dip stick. I had to cut this part off to be able to bolt the intake on due to an injection line being rightin the way of this extra ear. No big deal. This intake will be getting polished as well before it's all done.






I also ran into another snafoo. Since we used the dodge steering box, the drag link is hairy. Can't use a chevy one due to them being too long. Can't find any DOM threaded or anyone to thread it for what I need to do. So I came up with this. I have to weld a gusset on each end still. The owner is going to run this until he switches over to cross over steering later.
