The 6.2 is dying in my M1008 and I finally got my hands on a 12-valve 6BT Cummins. As soon as I find a NV4500 for a reasonable price, I am going to start on this project. I'll update this post as much as possible with pics and tips from the install.

For a starting point, I got a 1998 P-pumped 12 valve 6BT Cummins Turbo-Diesel from a Dodge 1-ton. It's already been modded. Has oversized delivery valves, 70+ injectors, 4000rpm governor springs, ATS exhaust and intake manifolds, and the killer dowel pin fix. It currently has a Banks Quick-Turbo upgrade, but I'm in the process of obtaining an ATS Aurora 3000 turbo to make it spin up faster and keep the EGTs down.

The plan is to back this engine up with a 5-speed (or 6-speed if the price is right) manual transmission (NV4500 or NV5600) into a NP205 transfer case. Like I said, as soon as I find a used one for a reasonable price, I'll get this ball rolling and start the build and documentation. Wish me luck!
