Yeah looks like if I want to go this route, I may not exactly be the first but I’d still be sort of a trailblazer. I have the cummins already, a nv4500 and np205. Call me a purist, but I think it’s be much better with a Chevy engine in there. However it’ll depend somewhat on the cost. I’ve thought about rebuilding the cummins and refreshing the nv4500. I got both of those for less than 2k which I think could be sold for more.

These 12vcummins engines are so mechanical and easy to put together if you can pay attention to what you’re doing. The duramax is a different animal...I’m always cautious when I walk into the unknown.
