71 K2500 Cummis Swap

[Dlong951]

This is my first thread. I am new to this. Hope I am doing this right. I apologize for the overload, we are several weeks into this project. Any and all advice will not be ignored. Thanks for the help.

Picture 1:

This was a complete 02 Dodge 2500. It had a Cummins 24 valve motor, NV5600 transmission with less then 5000 miles, 241DLD transfer case, Dana 80 disc break rear axle, and a typical Dana 60 front axle. The plan is use the motor, transmission, and rear axle for the swap. I bought a 12 valve years ago but never got around to doing the swap. I am going to use the P Pump and front cover from the 12 valve to install on the 24 valve.

Picture 2:

I have owed this truck for 5 years, but this is the ACTUAL truck I learned to drive a stick in when I was 12 years old in the middle of a corn field. We have been talking about putting a Cummins in it for several years now and the opportunity finally has come around. Between the donor truck and the worn out Oldsmobile motor it is finally time to do something.
