I have inserted a 6bt Cummins engine in my ‘55.2 370 GMC. Doghouse required, space for ‘i’cooler required, Delphi(Saginaw) steering box mounted outside frame on port side. Added late GMC hubs/spindles on existing axle, tires do not stick out past fenders this way. Pictures have appeared here occasionally.

Here is a progress picture. I also notched the #1 crossmember and made a new, lower, #2 crossmember. Raised cab .750”
