Re: Looking for a cummins donor vehicle for 2500hd

sounds like he's going to have the trans out tomorrow so I can pick up the truck after work. Weather is sloppy now and they're salting the roads... Man I don't want to get salt on my trailer or 2500HD but I guess one trip won't hurt it too bad. Gotta hit the car wash afterwards I guess.

Starting to learn more about the conversions, sounds like I will want to get a NV4500 bellhousing, use a 13" clutch, and then do an adapter plate on the back of the bellhousing to connect the SM465. And use a 1.5" input shaft out of a medium duty chevy.
