Re: 1988 Suburban "V Rig" Gets Cummins Power
I've been working on this project, and making head way. I got the LH mount tacked together, and put the radiator support back on to make sure everthing still cleared. I removed the engine, and am now drilling holes in the cross member, and welding it up. I decided to go with a single mount on each side instead of two. I recently spoke with 2 old customers that I did conversions in 93-97 K30's, and they both wished their mounts weren't so rigid. They like that it's nearly solid, but don't like the entire truck shaking at idle. So, I decided to use one per side since this truck will more than likely see over 450hp, and the owner will daily drive it.
I ran out of wire, so I couldn't finish welding it up. Next thing is to get the axles out of the donor truck and get them ready for this.
