Thanks Bruce, Both of those names are more familiar in the diesel realm than Hercules. I first saw this hercules page many years ago and now I wonder if it was the impetus for me doing my conversion as a 'kit'. I am still going to great lengths to make this conversion kit a bolt in procedure. I would have loved to mount this cummins engine onto my T9 crash box without touching the driveshaft, but an adapter to put a gm small block into a v8 drivetrain was about 500 bucks and then redrilling flywheel and a few other mods were needed. The GM trans was a bolt on to this particular oddball cummins.
