Anyone on here do a Cummins swap and a bodydrop? Curious what hood clearance issues I'm going to run into on my 92

No one has any info on this?

How about hood clearance on a non bodydropped Cummins swap? =)

I'm dropping a 12 valve into my 03 and it will fit not bodydropped for sure, but not sure how much extra room. Not sure how the 03 engine compartment compares to yours.

I was curious about the same thing, I'm going to be doing a Cummins swap in a 76 this winter. Haven't seen anyone body drop one with the swap. I didn't want to jack your thread though since it's a different bodystyle.



Link?
