Cummins in e body

[Moparteenchallenger]

Does anyone know if it has been done?......would it fit under the hood?

[72hemi]

Never seen that one before. Although there was a Chevelle with a Duramax.

yeah i seen the duramax thats what gave me the idea for the cummins i think it would be kinda cool but i dont know if the cummins is to tall to fit under the hood

I don't know if you could get a suspension under the car that could hold up that much weight.

According to these guys a "5.9 weighs 1020 pounds , a fully dressed big block will weigh around 700"

I measured it up & I believe it can be done with a dry sump low profile pan & something for a hood scoop , not sure what could be used for a tranny that would stand up to the torque & still fit in the car . the engine weight is within reason but with a HD cast iron trans & given the limited frame strength , I think you would have to do a full tube chassis & install the body on that . It would be a very cool project to build & drive

I think a B Body would be a better fit.

a few months ago, MCG had an article about a diesel installed in a duster

I don't think a B body would even be a good fit. I owned one of those 1st gen. Monte Carlos and the engine bay is loooong! With a Chevy smallblock in one the fan shroud looked like half of a 55 gallon oil drum, and the Cummins in the one in the video filled the whole bay!

It's like arm pit hair on a woman, just because you can doesn't mean it's good.

An ebody is sexy and a pleasure to look at.  A diesel is arm pit hair.

Please don't do it.

  about the same as putting a Chevy motor in there....

A Cummins in a Station Wagon or even a C body might be a good consideration. I think a Big Fury would make a great candidate for one.

Not sure if they will fit in e bodies but I have Seen diesel rams with 2 turbos turn low 9.s on pinks .
