Also diesel conversion specialist has adapter plates and motor mounts this stuff is expensive but makes it a lot easier and faster. Fuel mileage is pretty good that’s why I went with the diesel. The rig 11,000 lb with totally loaded
That's cool that you could get it in through the front. The 6.7L wouldn't fit that way fully assembled. I chose to lift the body off. If I were to do another Cummins swap, I think I'd do the radiator differently since I ended up having to make a lot of custom parts up front. I'd also approach the wiring a little differently. I integrated all of the Cummins wiring into the van's harnesses...next time I think I'll make the engine and trans more standalone with a simpler interface to the van wiring.
This is the second build I did first one lifted off the body much earlier. Wasn’t possible with turtle top they didn’t allow access to the bolts so that’s why I went through front. This thing was completely gutted and built from scratch it wasn’t a camper van it was a shuttle bus. Me and my wife put a lot of thought into the build. Were really satisfied with the way it turned out. It meats all of r needs really well.
4r100 trans with quick 4 controller, in and out through the front, transmission has to be moved back 4in, engine was overall easy install.Hardest part is the wiring. Stock radiator, Ac pump, alternator. Hade to do water to air intercooler.Noise isn’t bad but louder than stock. Only thing I would do different definitely use Cummins parts when rebuilding motors. Hope this helps answer your questions.
Really ambitious and nice build out. Did you do the engine install and wiring yourself or hire someone?
