    I'm Cummins swapping a '74 Duster, thought I'd share the progress.

    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?

    I'm Cummins swapping a '74 Duster, thought I'd share the progress.

    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 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...

    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 ‍♂️

    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...

    '74 Duster Bumper Mounting issues

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

    '74 Duster Bumper Mounting issues

    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...
