Enjoyed the video, with all the explanations. I'd pay for a step by step tutorial of a 5.9 swap into the 80 series, I'm sure I'm not the only one. A complete list of parts, where to source them etc. Very clean build.
It will make the front marginally heavier yes. However, the engine/transmission is centered directly above/behind the front axle and I don’t notice a whole lot of differences in driving both platforms. Reason for swapping is the cool factor first, also parts availability nationwide. And almost double the fuel economy
Absolutely gangster cant wait to see it up and running, might be worth considering braceing the coil towers while you have access

Thanks man! When I’m finished with this one I’ll do a full kind of walkthrough video with a parts list
NICE
That’s a wild build. I’d think a 4BT would be more than enough work and power for the drive train. This will be awesome.
4bt would move the cruiser just fine, but they tend to be more expensive/harder to find and shake the whole cruiser
Love this series. Was wondering if you could show or better explain what you do to the engine wiring harness , mods or alterations?
I’ll be doing that in the next video!
Great work 🎉. What adapter plate and transmisión did use?
Using the powertrain integration adapter plate with the nv4500
I assume some sort of adapter to thread PS hose into dodge pump? Also who made that drop down “kit” you welded in?
Yeah I think I’ve found the right adapter now! The drop down brace is made by Dustin @powertrain integration
This engine swap will make the car front heavier right? And may i ask why you swap to a cummimgs instead of a original engine?

@@Austin_SaintOnge allright.🤌
