I am half way through converting my Cummins 2WD 727 to 4WD. I am going to paint the tranny the same color as the truck and the NP205 is getting painted Cummins Beige. I also returned my D70 23 spline locker to Summit since I got the D70U from Mikel. I will widen my front Dodge D60F 5" to make it match the rear axle width.
Nice grinding job on the intake. I still have to do mine.
I ordered a Lokar kickdown cable, -8 fittings for the tranny case, and a tranny cooler with own fan with -8 fittings, from Summit today. Motor and trans will be going in in the beginning of December. I will use the stock axles for the time being until the new axles are ready. I will also have a new canvas top made in the spring to fit my altered bows. I will post pics of my Diesel conversion as it happens.
I got my Cummins 727 rebuilt and painted. I also got in my remote tranny cooler, Lokar kickdown cable, and the -8 AN fittings for the side of the tranny.

Looks like your moving right along. Does the cooler mount underneath the truck, or is there another plan?
I am going to mount the cooler under the bed. I will run braided line between the two. I am hoping it will keep the tranny cool.
Looks like it ought to do the job. Does your radiator have a transmission cooler built in also?
I fired up my Cummins 6BT on an engine stand for the first time

Cool! Will by done, by Tuesday, right?? ;)
Old motor is out. Not bad considering I had to move 4 diesel engines, two trannies and 4 dana 70 axles out of my way this morning before bringing in the truck.
