I just did this swap in my truck, Look for a 12 valve Cummins because there is no wiring for the engine. I sold mine for $650 but I just wanted to get rid of it.

I used a 96 12V in my conversion, It had the newr style P Pump and no Electronics to hook up, BBC's sell $500 to $1000 depending on milage and accessories.

Thanks guys. I know it will vary, but what can i expect to pay for the 12V? Also This may seen stupid but will the factory gas fuel pump work? And any hints would be awesome. Thanks guys!

the 1st gen 12v have a fuel pump that runs off of the engine like a carb engine. Some people use an external pump like an air dog or a fass.

Its a pretty easy swap. I did mine a few months ago and I haven't had any issues.
