Re: The Dakota Cadillac (68 K20 w/ Cummins)

Here we go, I have more of the mounts I used but those are about 2000 miles away right now.


7 1/2 feet from balancer to yoke on np205



The Dodge D60F was installed and now the motor being dropped in to start fabrication of motor and trans mounts.


I had no stock front crossmember, only one welded in by the previous owner when he installed the Toroflow, so the once you can see here was cut out and replaced with two sticks of 1x2" tube.





Front end back on to start fitting the intercooler. 99 Ford F250 cooler, do not attempt this as this thing is huge and I had to modify it to clear both the frame rails and the hood latch. I'm still looking for a better way to do the hood latch, so stay tuned.



NV5600 shifter coming through the floor. I mounted the engine/trans/tcase very high compared to other conversions as I'm trying to get a flat belly to maximize the use as a hunting rig and minimize the lift. I had to trim and refabricate a floor crossmember to clear the rear output of the NP205 to give you an idea of how high everything is. I need to make a new trans tunnel cover, as this one is on it's third shifter location and those aluminum panels are old license plates flipped and screwed temporarily.
