sweet Jesus that makes me ill...at least im not doing something like that...

If anyone is interested, I had someone custom make me a font inspired by the Duster logo, I paid for it, and I own it. I'm not selling it, simply just giving it away to whoever wants it, use it for a spec poster or display board or whatever for car shows. PM me and I'll send you the file...

Specifically regarding the brakes I'm planning on using some willwoods, backed up with the hydro boost system from a Ram truck, haven't figured out which set or size yet since there's a lot to consider with all of that and at the moment I'm mostly worried about getting the engine and...

The G56 will bolt right up to the 5.9 and I'm trying to make 600Hp at the crank, so approximately twice the output of a stock engine. The G56 will handle it with no problems, I did quite a bit of research looking for a smaller trans to use and I wanted a manual, I looked at the T56 magnum but it...

To address some concerns that everyone seems to have. I in general do not know what I'm doing, I do know how do all of the engine work, suspension, brakes, plumbing etc, but specifically with fabrication etc., no idea. I do however understand general concepts. I have an understanding of welding...

I have not, I have considered using a crown vic or an 83+ S10 regular cab frame though

Thank you very much, it seems you understand what I'm trying to do! I'll post updated pictures and videos whenever I can. Currently working full time with a significant amount of over time so I'm filming and working on the car when I can.

Oooohhhh right, I'll just go back there with my junk I guess

LS swaps are the most brain dead swap I can think of. I mean what hasn't been LS swapped?

With all of the research I've done and all of the considerations and planning up to this point that I've done, I have most definitely come to the conclusion that this is a bad idea and incredibly stupid, but there's only so much planning that can be done before actually attempting to put things...

My point exactly!

My goal is to remove as little structure as possible and strengthen as I go, I have no idea what I'm doing but I've put allot of thought into this project, been planning it for 3 almost 4 years now. All that's left to do is go for it and problem solve as I go

I haven't test fit the G56 yet , but it's quite a big transmission so It might interfere with the hex keys of the torsion bars

You'd be surprised what you can do with less than 4000 rpm, as far as cooling, I know I can certainly decrease cooling capacity most of the cooling is for heavy hauling anyways, unloaded I've never seen my personal truck nor my work truck exceed 198°F, granted, I'm not doing a lot of hot rodding...

Yeah, you pretty much got it, haha

Oh, I agree this is a terrible idea, and I'm well aware that it is going to be incredibly front heavy, and it will indeed need a lot of reinforcement. I'm tired of seeing cookie cutter builds, and no one's swapped a 5.9 Cummins into a Duster....for good reason, but still.

There is indeed a 4bt that would be significantly easier, but I just like the idea of a 6bt, the car came with an inline 6, so why not swap in a big inline 6 ‍♂️

Thank you

It's a 2003 5.9L common rail Cummins, I'm not entirely sure if the HDK stuff will be up to the task, but it seems to be the best option that won't cost me an arm and a leg

I have some plans to make all of this work, the biggest issue at the moment is figuring out cooling and beefing up front suspension. The engine itself is going to have to be pushed back a few inches to make clearance for the cooling pack, radiator, intercooler etc. I'm planning on using the...

Alright thank you, I have the 74 brackets, I'm going to try and get a custom coaster plate made for it.

Thank you, do you have any idea where I can get the mounts?

I've got a 1974 Duster, it came with two different bumpers, a beat up and twisted '74 bumper and a near perfect '75 one, I can't get the '75 bumper to mount up properly it seems to be about a half inch wider on both sides. I looked for the '75 mounting brackets but couldn't find them, I did find...
