4bt 72 Dart

Ok before I begin, I know I will have some haters and people that think I'm crazy and ruining a Mopar, but it's mine not yours and a cummins comes in the trucks so it's a Mopar engine anyway, also I'm doing this for fuel mileage, power, and reliability since this will be my everyday car when I'm done. Something no gas engine can do all of.

My project is and 1972 Dart slant 6 auto that I am going to put a Cummins 4bt with a NV4500 out of a Dodge truck. The 4bt for those who my not know is just a 2 cyl short 6bt like the Dodge trucks came with. I used to work at Cummings and love these engines be cause they are powerful, reliable, and get good fuel mileage. I have a 72 Duster that eats fuel like crazy, so I can't drive it very much. So, I wanted a car that I could, yet still be an old Mopar. So, this is what I decided to do. In the next few weeks I will be pulling the 4bt out of the bread truck I bought and then tearing it down to put main, rod, and head studs, new rings and gaskets and then pull the slant 6 out of the Dart and start stuffing it in. It is actually shorter that the 6 is so it should fit in pretty easily. So hears some pics and I will update as I go.
