I have "found" a cummings 6bt turbo thats in a running truck. I would like to know how hard (expensive) and modification (Bubba) would it be to replace the 6.2 with the cummings. Can the TH400 if up graded withstand the power and torque from the cummings engine? I know it will have to have a upgraded torque conveter. I know I will have to use the cummings cooling system and plan a to do full use of as much of the Cummings gear as I can. It is in a two wheel drive so I can not use the transmission unless I go to divorced transfer case. I hope the engine compartment is long enough or will I have do a body lift of a couple of inches? This truck also has AC and will replace the Radatior support with a AC unit and plan on a transplant if possible of the AC system or do a Vintage AC unit install. Plus have to have a GM Conveter to fit the engine, or so I have been told.
