Hey guys, I'm just curious has any one on here put a cummins in a gbody? Or know if it's even possible to fit in? Sounds like it would be a fun time! And would really turn the tires!

If you have enough money you could definitely do it. A nice built 4bt would fit in there nicely and make for a badass torque monster that would probably net you around 35mpg. You'll definitely need to do some modifications to the front end though, as even the 4 cylinder version weighs quite a lot. You would definitely need stiffer springs, maybe some bigger rotors. Steering components would need to be considered, basically all the stuff you would need if you wanted to stuff a big block in there. You'll have to fab up some motor mounts and definitely a transmission crossmember. You'd also have to find a trans that would volt up thetthe Cummins bellhousing, there are plenty of adapters out there though, so you'll have to reasearch that. Total cost would probably be around 3 grand.
A cummins not sure but here is one with a durmax 6.6L. Here is the link http://www.dieselpowermag.com/features/0711dp_1982_buick_regal/
It would almost be easier and probably cheaper to just drop the body on a dodge frame and it would be 4x4😉
The guy who I bought my '86 Monte from fit a Cummins in a '70 Monte. Wish he would show more detail of what he did, the work is incredible.
