I just had some engine mount plates laser cut and hope to have mounts available soon. I plan to do something along the lines of what Mr. Cimmaron did for the rear mount.
Yessir. As I recall I think I shortened the lower radiator inlet as well. I wasn’t thrilled to do it that way but the trade off of doing an oddball AC mount system didn’t seem worth it to me. I double clamped and it never gave me problems.
I’m hoping to be able to use the stock one like I did in my first build. The swap I am currently doing is a ppump motor (first was a VE) so I’ll have to check and make sure everything still lines up ok. Unfortunately I won’t be able to get back on the project for a month or so ☹️
Hey everyone. I now stock the plates and shafts required for this conversion. First run of plates are $300 each and shafts are $350. PM for details. I am in process on building some bolt in motor mounts that will require no welding or frame modification as well. I’ll post up when those are...

Indeed. Doing a ppump motor swap in another truck now and without a body lift I needed to thump the floor at exactly that position. Should work though 😀
You certainly don’t need to cut the firewall. I didnt on mine and just used a 1” BL and was able to easily clearance where needed with a 3 lb mallet. Next I’m going to try no body lift.
I suppose. My motivation was that I was scared off by several of the stories on here of people spending $$ and having a heck of a time getting their parts. I didn’t know he stopped making them.
Sorta. Depends on what you mean by reverse engineer. A few years ago when I did my first Cummins swap folks were having supply issues with getting these adapters. Through reading on the forum I gathered that duiser was having 2wd nv4500 shafts shortened and resplined. This seemed fairly...
Ouch! As we discussed via PM my goal in posting the CAD for the adapter and shaft dimensions was to give back to the community and make this adapter available after the duiser debacle. I’m happy for you to be part of the solution for this...and maybe I’m misreading what you are saying...
I’d double check this. I did 3” comp springs on mine but with it resting on the bump stops (springs removed) there was still clearance. Not a ton, but I hope to do the next one with a 2.5” lift.
