Squarebody chev with a 12v cummins and mansmission, it doesn't get any better than that, thats a great combo right there, ultimate reliability and dependability. My first vehicle was an 84 K30 m1008 ex mil. Always wanted to cummins swap it, now i have my 12v cummins swapped 91 squarebody suburban. No regrets, awesome combination. Great content as always, happy new year to you all from a bunch of your followers here in the U.K.
There can be huge difference in cost depending on what you want and can do yourself. If you got a decent donor truck and can fabricate it might not cost much more than the donor truck. Or the sky’s the limit. I had to rebuild my motor and I also did a bunch of other stuff. I’m at around $10,000 into the swap.
Nice project specially knowing how much you love 12valve…suggestion fleece coolant bypass and bumping timing to 18 to 20 degrees? And a valve cover to plumb blow by into a bottle keep driveway clean but either way cool project. And Merry Christmas to you and the wife and two little ones exciting times
Love it . I did my v30 this summer to a k30 and a 12v and next summer I aiming for 500-600 street truck I love it. Nice to see you on a 12v . Tx from Sweden
Whats not to love a 12 valve and a square body! I have a 12valve nv4500 swapped in my 2005 chevy 2500hd 4x4 still has the push button transfer case i have all the guages and everything working except cruise and the ac wich the ac is coming this spring i have 30,000 miles on the swap so far and its pulled all sorts of stuff shes my daily absolutely love it! Swap
It’s amazing I see so many trucks falling apart around a cummmins motor. Just change the oil regularly and get a million mile machine. Or more depending how dedicated you are
That first truck is like your 94 year old grandmother that's been smoking a pack a day for 70 years. Looks like hell on the outside, but somehow, that old hearts still ticking away like the day she was born 😂
Merry Christmas to the W.O.T Family. The same goes for you Josh and to your family as well. To rest of you, filthy animals have a great Christmas and a safe New Year's!
I'm curious what you will do about the front springs, even with a 454 there was never a square body with an engine CLOSE to the weight of that 12v! Cool swap non the less, I saw my first square/ 12v conversion back in 2003, in Northern Idaho.. 2wd, flatbed, used to tow trailers of scrap by the local wrecking yard :)
" whatever pathetic slush box is in that truck" those military trucks came with a turbo 400.. actually a good trans. I would rather have the NV though for sure.
Terrible. Why would you ever decide to swap a 12v in place of the 6.2 Detroit? I love my 6.2. Most reliable, powerful, best fuel economy and cheap readily available parts you can't beat that.

I swapped a 12v into my 86 Chevy squarebody about 2 years ago. It’s been a blast to drive around and was a fun project
How much did it cost

Every teenage boys dream the indestructible 12v Cummins- the country music after you said that was priceless 😂

Heck yeah brother 👍☝️🇺🇸
Yes sir. This will be a fun series!

Let us know

It is only 200lbs heavier so not really an issue. The truck rated plenty to handle it.
We shall see it's my first one!
It'll be a blast to drive at 450 hp.
This definitely is a SHTF truck to get you through the end of the world scenario. Going to be one bad MOFO for sure.
Pioneers used to ride these puppies for miles 😂😂👌🏻
Just Here To See All The 12 Valve/2nd Gen Hate!!! Great Video Josh!!!

Having no experience with engine swaps, how hard would it be to swap a 12 valve into a 1989 chevy caprice?
Can you put an old 12 valve into a 2007 Dodge Cummins with a g56
Yes but why would you down grade
@horsetorquesdiesel mechanical reliability free from electronic issues that I have difficulty with
Just a lil surface rust...it'll buff out.
Is it a 12 valve if it doesn't leak?
A truer statement could not be made
That Cummins shipping crate was ripe for harvest
Well if anyone can help? Can somebody tell me a good place to get a ecm for my 99 5.9 cummins I think mine is no good. Much appreciated thanks
Crites comp
@@horsetorquesdiesel thank you
M1008!
450rwhp 12v on stock head bolts is begging for a blown head gasket in my experience.
Not really hell I ran compound turbos making 70lbs of boost for 2 years on stock head bolts before the headgasket let go. Truck has 498000 miles on it
We finally talked him into studs
All this for 450hp lol
Who doesn't love a square body? Lol
Terrible. Why would you ever decide to swap a 12v in place of the 6.2 Detroit? I love my 6.2. Most reliable, powerful, best fuel economy and cheap readily available parts you can't beat that.
His choice!
