rang marks but they dont do the cummins edapter

[tony l]

i found you can get a gu to chev and a chev to cummins so this is one way but am yet to find a strait edapter

[YNOT]

It can and has been done but I can't help with any details. The Cummins motors are very heavy and would need much heavier front springs to hold the weight.

theres alot of diffrent engine conversion and doing a cummins conversion is the most exspenive
so i think you need to think about what your going to be youing it for

[boss2013]

Hay guys just a question with the lower revs of the cummins is it worth getting the patrols gearbox gear ratios changed or just change the whole gearbox

[Northern Lad]

I think it depends on what model of engine, ISF 3.8L or 6BT 5.9L or something else? Apparently the 6BT can pretty much destroy the GU five speed box so may be best to replace the transmission at the same time.

Killa Kustom kables is building a prototype now to make kits to suit 6bt mated to gu 4speed auto.

Just thread digging, anymore info about it? Cheers

Jump onto Facebook and search killa Kustom kables. Steve Kildey has done a cummins to gu and has the answers you seek. Also look at killa auto electrics page.

The nissan 4.2 weighs in around 740 lbs and the Cummins 5.0 is 1100lbs,
not sure how this translates for a rock hopper or a tourer

Castlemaine Rod shop do adaptor plates, and other than Marks you could try Dellows

[DilboBaggins]

Cheers mate, gave killa a ring the other day, bloke is full of wisdom! I also rang marks and they said they dont do them, nor do they have any interest in doing them. Ill try castlemaine tomorrow, cheers
