I doubt if the Dodge transmission will hold up or bolt up behind it, and I imagine you will have problems rigging up motor mounts that will hold up. I agree with lumpy , you'd need to really beef up your front end , a 1500 may not be truck enough whatever you do. Theres a reason Dodge didnt use the 5.9 Cummins in a 1500.Is the DT466 a mechanical fuel pump ? The DT466 were known for cracking the frames in an International School bus chassis near the motor mounts in the early/mid 1990's till Int. beefed up the frame. That frame is alot stouter than your 1500 Dodge.Other issue's may be clearance for oil pan above your front axle, as well as rigging up a charge air cooler and big enough radiator , and switching trans to non -electronic automatic or a Manual. All that being said if you have enough time and money and skills I,m sure it can be done, the question is - will it be worth the effoert and expense when your done? If it was me and I wanted a diesel Dodge, I'd look for an older Dodge with a 5.9 Cummins . I imagine with the cost of diesel fuel almost $1 above gas, there'll be more of them for sale.
