Thread: 5.9 conversion

  1. #1

    Default 5.9 conversion

    I searched "5.9" and cannot find a thread with it in there. I know I'm not doing something right. I've seen "5.9" in a thread before.
    Anyhow, has anyone done the 5.9 conversion? Can someone point me in the direction of the zoner that's made this conversion a (successful) reality?
    The 5.9 is part of my wet dream. Just want to know what that conversion entails. Thanks

    Are you talking about a cummins diesel?? Or are you talking about a dodge or amc 360??? Cause all those options have been hashed over at one point or another

    If you are talking about the Dodge/Cummins 6BT, then do a search for "6BT swap" or the like. Plenty of info out there and more than a few ways of doing it too. Also, it has been sucessfully done more than a couple times.

    It also helps if you put "*6bt" in the search box.

    Actually -- it works better with asterisk (star) appended to the end of text (6bt*), not at the beginning.

    Some other examples that produce valid results:

    4bt*
    12v*
    24v*
    J10*
    M37*
    M35*
    LDT*
    230* engine
    Top* bows

    The list goes on.

    The use of quotes, like Randy suggests, also works well if one can predict the word sequence.

    "5.9 swap"
