For years we have been asked to offer a diesel engine swap and for years we had been looking for the perfect candidate. We have worked with some imported engines and the 4BT and 6BT CumminsTM; however, the imports were not D.O.T. approved and the 4BT or 6BT were just hard to get and just too large for most applications. Well, our patience paid off. Earlier this year (2016), we were contacted by one of the magazine editors along with a representative from CumminsTM. They were looking for help on a conversion project for a new diesel that has been used overseas for several years but is now being certified to be run here in the states. The new "2.8L Turbo Diesel" is approximately 500 pounds, has a torque rating of 270 lb.-ft. @ 1800RPM and 161 H.P. @ 3600. The Diesel is a turbo-charged intercooled common rail engine that you can get more low end torque which helps with driveability all the while vastly improving fuel economy.
Adapting to the CumminsTM The adapters we offer come with a new Cummins ring gear and flex plate for the starter and adapter plate and crank adapter for coupling to the new transmission. The adaper kits do require the use of the stock transmissions flex plate or flywheel.

P/N 712594-A - CUMMINS 2.8L TO GM LS (GEN lll & lV) TRANSMISSIONS
P/N 712595-A - CUMMINS 2.8L TO Rover LT77, LT77S & R380 U.S. transmissions
Note: Since the Cummins has an electronic throttle, the GM automatic transmissions should only be electronically shifted.
Along with the adapter we designed for this project we also designed a weld-in set of motor mounts. These were specific for the Jeep TJ and our design set the engine in the perfect location. No firewall modifications were needed and no body lift was required.
