I have one of these, bought it at an auction. Its in a 1 ton Chev. It has a thin adapter between the engine and the original Chev bellhousing. Some local fellows here in Ohio did a lot of these conversions years ago. The truck is a bit shabby and I have the intention of putting the Cummins in another truck. This engine only turns 2650 RPMs, so it requires an overdrive of one form or another. With a 3.78 gear in the tonner, it was wound tight at 52 MPH. They claimed it was good for 30 MPG. They didnt brag on trailer pulling power, though. One friend had one in a Suburban, said it would keep up with a 350. He had adjusted the pump a bit, though. My engine does not have the balancer shafts, and it really rocks at idle, smooths out at full throttle.
