For extra credit, how about explaining why?
How is performance/driving with two fewer cylinders?
How is the mpg?
Is it taller? I.e., did you have to do a body lift to fit the 6bt in?
Can you tell us what version of the 6bt is best?
And anything else you could tell us would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Out with the Old and In with a Cummins
Pics will be taken! We're using a 96 12V, just swapped everything from the core engine to the new jasper unit. We're doing this conversion for a few reasons. The 7.3 in Jeff's van was worn out @215k due to lack of maintenance so a new engine was needed. I brought up the idea of the cummins swap and jeff said lets do it!!!!!
I will say now that I won't be offering any type of kit for this swap. I'm undecided on whether we'll do another. It's a ton of work, so we'll see how it goes. Always hard the 1st time!!!

Re: Out with the Old and In with a Cummins
Pretty! And it looks like there will actually be room between the engine and the body under that van hood!

Re: Out with the Old and In with a Cummins
You might be onto something there Chris! That motor just looks like it is designed to last 500,000 miles and they have good fuel consumption too I hear.

Re: Out with the Old and In with a Cummins
Thanks guys, we're learning a lot! We're going to play with the turbo mounting, need it lower and under the manifold for clearance. Trying to source one today, if not we'll just make it! There's a good bit of room on each side of the motor, will be easy to work on in the future.
