Re: The Dakota Cadillac (68 K20 w/ Cummins)

Alright, getting the motor out of the Dodge. Not too bad, ended up cutting the radiator support to pull the assembly out. Came out with everything attached, tranny and t case included! I hate chest pressing those so I take it out as a unit.




Motor with trans dropped (way easier out of the truck)


Cleaned up and painted red. I know Cummins is beige but I don't think that works with a silver truck and I can't do Chevy orange because it ain't a chevy motor and it can't stay black, so a nice red was chosen.


The 91.5 sitting outside on the trailer waiting for scrap but ended up being sold whole so it may live on in another truck. My neighbors loved me for the few days it was on there.
