c'mon Britannic, "spill the beans"

i think many of us would like to hear about your conversion.
I wasnt aware that this is a fairly common thing.
whats the most desirable CTD?
any details you fell comfortable sharing, would make for some fantastic reading!
A swap on my '95 may not be for me.......but ;)

Well, it means you have to go to the Dark Side and change your beloved GM V8 diesel for a 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel.

I'm still collecting the last of the parts, but as of today, Uncle Sam sent me my diesel upgrade subsidy and tomorrow I'll be ordering these delectable goodies from www.piersdiesel.com:


PDR2614001 Governor Spring Kit 4000 RPM w/ 12 HD 60lb Valve Springs
PDR2411910-K High Flow 191 Delivery Valve Kit
PDR25100## Cam Plate Kit #10 plate
PDR2012050 25psi Fuel Overflow Valve
PDR1615912 ATS 3 Piece Pulse Manifold
PDR1113500 PDR HX35 Turbo
PDR5010001 Con O South Bend Clutch

The good weather's coming and with the longer evenings, work can now begin in earnest. I want to put together a write-up with pictures that'll capture the essence of what I'm up to.

i look forward to reading about it, the Cummins is certainly a cool unit :D
