Cummins diesel from an Dodge pickup in a 2000 model Patrol?

[YNOT]

the patrol that you are talking about did not do what you have posted, the clutch was the only thing that didn't work to start with but was only upgraded the gearbox was the nissan 5th gear fault on the early gu patrol were the gear was not fully splined the diff was a fault with the locker and was repaired under warrenty if you need any other info about the conversion let me know

I have to admit I was a bit surprised when I read elsewhere that the vehicle had destroyed a number of diffs, that just didn't add up to me. If Heath Lawson can drag race a 600plus HP modified Duramax powered GU and not break diffs how the hell was a standard (no mention of power up mods) Cummins breaking them?

Some questions to satisfy my own curiosity,

1) How did you adapt the Cummins to the Nissan gearbox, is there an off the shelf adaptor or was it custom made?
2) How much heavier is the Cummins, did the suspension need much modification?
3) How does the performance compare to the standard Nissan diesel?
4) Is the Cummins standard or do they respond well to modifications? It looks to me (correct me if I'm wrong - I often am) like more of a work horse mod which you would keep standard for ultimate reliabillity.
5) Do you have any more photo's?
