???? (Cummins in an S10)

[EDAnna]

What do you think, I think I can make it fit 1989CTD in a 1999 s-10

Brayden on this board was attempting too, I dont know if he ever finished the project though.

 

[Steve Graham]

Gale Banks put one in a Dakota, so why not. Its quite the challange.

 

[bighammer]

I think it would be a cool project. I think a 4BT might a better fit, but the big one has been done before.

(I added to your title so people have an idea what this is)

TDR member "JLeonard" has a son who put a 6BT with a VE-44 in an S-10. I tried finding the thread where there were pictures posted, but didn't come up with anything. Luckily I saved some pictures that were posted.



The truck runs/drives and goes like crazy from what I understand. IIRC, there was a LOT of firewall massaging involved.

Yes... firewall cutting would be more accurate Matt. LOL Got any ideas how to add a cupholder to the bellhousing?

Whomever wants a couple of early install pics I have them. . just shoot me an e-mail and I can reply with the pics

Unfortunately he drove it a couple of times and it has been sitting. Never got totally finished. Needs a real rear axle and a driveshaft, and finish work inside, including a custom console to hide the patch in the firewall.



It's in my yard now snowed in in storage... but the hood cable's broken so I can't get any pics right now.

Gale Banks isnt the only one with a Cummins in a Dakota Oo.



Dont let anyone tell you that you cant do it. If you really want it bad enough you will find a way to pull it off.

It is a lot of fun and it still gets 22 mpg on the highway.
