Re: 58 Apache Bagged Cummins

Holly cow! What a mess going on here. I can tell you from real world experience, plan on about 36" when trying to lay out a small engine bay to fit a 5.9 in. Yes, one can be put in dang near anything. It's just how much work do you want to do to get it in there.

The comparison of the 5.9 to a 5.3 is so bogus. Take that truck intake off the LS and the height is squat compared to the cummins. I have each setting near each other and can provide a pic of both setting on their oil pans if you'd like.

Re: 58 Apache Bagged Cummins

yep the LS can be made tiny. The dmax is fully dressed as well in those snips with the mouthpiece and everything hanging up. Cummins is by far the tallest.
