@firetoy
Tim has done a few and a good guy to boot.
 
Yea I called them on Thursday and the dude said they just don't have the time to do something like that right now. Thanks though
 
@brooks has put a Cummins in more vehicles than I can count.
 
Not hard to do, just expensive! The adapter plate to put a 400 Trans is over a 1k dollars plus you have to reinforce the Fram for the engine mounts. 6bt is very heavy! ! The 12valve is obviously easier then the 24 valve. I am pretty sure the 6.5 you have has a 700r4 behind it, witch will never hold up to the power of the 6bt. You can find a bread truck adapter for half of nothing, but that is a bad way to go because it turns everything to a 10° what a pain. Just my .02

That truck would have a 4l60 atleast, if not a 4l80.
 
Bye I've got the bell housing and flex plate you'd need to run a gm auto....
 
Anything much over stock power will kill just about any GM trans that's not very well built (read: expensive).
