Then get the Dodge bell housing and clutch and it will be good to go in. Still have to work out details on how I want to do the fuel system.

More news to come.
That's good to hear! That thing should have a 727 in it not a 904. Also the fuel system should be cake. Your cummins will have a diaphram style lift pump on the LH side of the block below the tappet cover about 6-8" from the rear of the block. Run at least 5/16" fuel line from the tank to the lift pump. I usually do 3/8". You will have to run a return line as well. 5/16" will be fine there.
