Hey everybody!
I know this has been beat to death on here but I am looking for some info.
I acquired this 1993 C3500 dually with the traveltime trailers conversion package out of Texas (rust free). The plan was to sell it and go and buy a new truck but this thing has grown on me... quite a bit.
It currently has a 6.5 Detroit which is fine by itself, but once I hook onto my 44ft race trailer with it all loaded down.. she's a dog.
I would like to do a Cummins or Duramax swap and maybe put an Allison or an NV5600 behind it... or at least something with decent overdrive - right now with the 4l80e at 70 mph she's wound up pretty tight.
Is there anybody that has done this that could provide a list of everything that will be needed? The truck gets used pretty regularly in the spring/summer/fall and is stored during the winter. My plan is to try and purchase everything so I can try and knock it out over the course of winter.
I am capable/willing to modify the firewall and/or trans tunnel if need be. I would like the air conditioning to be functional as well.
Any information the wealth of knowledge on this site could offer would be beyond appreciated!!!
The paint work will get done after the engine swap!
