Re: K30 Downgrade to Cummins Project

Auto world will sell the poly isolators separate last I knew. I hope so because they have the patent on them and are the only ones building them as far as I know. I only have 1 per side in my truck. It makes well over 400hp, I've towed 25k and higher and not had any issues with them.

From what I can see on your engine position, you are still way too far forward. I can also tell you, for a tow rig you want a mechanical fan. You will want to jump up to the dodge radiator too and ditch the stock BBC radiator. My truck has a stock BBC radiator and it does just fine towing 15k on an open trailer. Hook an enclosed trailer or 5th wheel camper on it and she gets warm. I don't have a shroud on it but I don't believe putting a shroud on it will be the cure. I feel a larger radiator is the cure. So, with that being said, I'd just modify your core support and put a 94-02 dodge radiator and intercooler in it and be done with it.

I realize you're trying to get by with not much lift but I don't think you will get there without putting the engine a little farther down and back more. If you want I can send you a dodge exhaust manifold so your mount issues are a little easier. I probably have a dodge oil drain too. The ford bus/F700 AC mount is probably the one you're talking about. They're pretty pricey. Auto world also makes mounting brackets and a dual pulley to put ac compressors on the head above the injection pump.
