I swapped a 12 valve Cummins into my 88 burb. I really like it very much. Yeah, there was some serious shoe horn action going into the build but the end result is fantastic in my book. I like the simplicity of the motor but in stock form it’s only 220 hp / 440 flbs torque. But it’s totally...

I figured out what most everyone else did a long time ago only I did it this week. I thought I’d post a few pix for you so you can see where I’m at with this thing. Many of you have followed along with FB and IG. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Two years later I am daily driving this beauty. I love it so much. Come see it on Facebook “Moby Project” Or on Instagram @moby_12er_burb I don’t get back here often enough but follow the portal on IG. Let me know what you think when you have seen it! It’s very close to done now, just a few...

hey guys, sorry about the pix. looks like photo bucket is no longer hosting 3rd party. i bet you knew that already... i need to figure out some pix if I'm going to continue this thread i guess. here's what i have been doing. lots of family stuff lol. but, i have snuck in some time here and...

Hey guys! Still here but been working 80 hour weeks with no days off. Throw in a 45 minute commute each way and that means all shop activities come to a halt. Hope to get back out there in a week or so to monkey around with this beastie some more! Laters!!!

I got this Dodge to GMC slave unit from the syndicate chop shop to go with the nv4500 swap.

Three dimples show the mounting location for the clutch master cylinder for those swapping from auto to standard. 73-87 gm trucks up to 91 one ton, blazer and suburban. Don't know if it's all years but this is a question that comes up and not too many pix for the visual crew.

It's definitely going to have some things on there that weren't offered that prolly should have been lol 😁

just about 30 years old. 1988 - rolled off the line in '87 i suspect

thanks Chilli, forgot to add that i cleaned up and greased the pivot shafts / bushings and replaced the plastic bushings which were breaking down. the brake shaft was sticky and dry but it still looked real good before it got grease.

i don't know how many times I've been through this thread, lol! I'm finally getting to where i can do my own swap. lots of good info here!!!

you were there the week before me and as you said it is amazing! we have been going every year since 2000. i have gotten to know it quite well in those years and am always glad to see people visiting moab. nice rig by the way!

Took a couple pictures of the parts if anyone is interested... Also, a fella who I've been trading parts with is giving me a 2WD steering gear out of an '84 half ton. here's some pix!

good to know, the biggest tires will be 35" and its not wheeling it. chances are it will be just fine for my purposes :) i'll definitely going to keep my eyes on it.

Did yours crack?

I haven't got the steering box yet but I will soon I hope. I've been talking to a fella who's done plenty of these swaps and he seems to think the weld on plate will be enough. The frame in that area is definitely a weak spot but mine looks good as new. My plans are to start with the plate and...

found the clutch and brake parts i wanted to get me started. one hydroboost coming up!
