Awesome Fummins build It's nice to have the Exhaust manifold for the turbo that hangs straight down just like the industrial 5.9 cummins did on their 2 ton or medium duty series trucks I enjoyed the video
Just bought a 1994 school bus 109,000 miles on it with a 5.9 12v with p- pump , have a 93 idi f-350 4x4 zf5 trans, cab & chassis service truck I’m going to put the cummins in sometime next year, iv been told that I would have to move the radiator forward 2inches or move the transmission back 2 , which is the best or easier way ?
I used a 47rh transmission and ordered mounts from Carrick Customs (i think that's what they're called). Those mounts and that transmission required that I hammer on the fire wall in order to make clearance for the trans and rear valve cover of the motor. I recall that I had to drill new holes in the frame for the trans brace. So I guess I moved the trans back. Radiator is still in its stock location.
I used the DPS exhaust manifold for OBS conversion in order to clear the heater core for the A/C. I did a lot of research and you could also flip the original manifold upside down and have a top mount turbo if your manifold will allow you to. The 12v manifolds tend to shrink and the bolts don't line back up sometimes if they've shrunk. That's why I chose to buy a new one.
In it's current setup the lines go straight from the tank to an electric inline fuel pump and then to the ve-pump. I intend to pull the bed off in the future and completely redo the fuel system so that both tanks work and I can run an air separator.
The style of mount that I bought required me to notch a portion in order for the studs on the motor mounts to have clearance for the nuts to hold them in place securely.
If I remember correctly I just had to fold the lip over inside the trans tunnel to clear the 47RE. I had to do quite a bit more with the sledgehammer higher on the firewall to be able to remove the rear valve cover once the motor was installed. I did it by trial, removing and replacing the motor a few times until I'd hammered enough for clearance.
I know you may not remember as you've been out of state for some time now, but it's really hot down here! I wear it to avoid sunburn on the back of my neck.
What a dream build! 😍

Thank you man, truck is great!
Didn’t see you put a fan on when you put it back together

Nice Job bro
Thank u Sir!
I wonder if you could use a porta power with extensions to massage the firewall?
I had to do a lot more hammering to make clearance for the valve cover than the trans. I suppose it's worth a shot if you're gonna swap your truck.
Good.truck

About to do a similar swap, what exhaust manifold did you install? That would help me quite a bit.
Thank you.

How much do you have into this swap?
Truck, motor, supporting mods about $11,000
You would have had so much funner of a time had you took that hood off bro
That's the truth man
Did you just run the fuel lines straight from the tank to the pump or do you have a fass or air dog?

What did you have to do to the subframe
The style of mount that I bought required me to notch a portion in order for the studs on the motor mounts to have clearance for the nuts to hold them in place securely.
@@ChaneyOswell carrick customs mounts ?
@@skatnoon Yes
how far back did you have to push the firewall? about to do the same with my truck

8:51 why would you put freshly milled surfaces down onto asphalt?
I usually rub surfaces on 2 grit to scuff up the metal. Gives a better seal between the oil pan gasket and blinker fluid reservoir.
Why do you have a tshirt over your face? Whats under there….
