Re: Chevy Cummins
Just by reading I was pretty certain you were asking what motor to swap into your chevy...when you find a running chevy with a cummins in it let me know (as your latest post and thread title insinuate).

HP rating doesnt mean anything in itself, it tells you where the power is made at....for instance if torque and hp are equal, it makes power at 5250rpm. Not a good place for a truck (since trucks are meant to last a long time). If torque is twice the horsepower then it makes the power at 5250/2 which is 2625 rpm, slightly more appropriate for a truck. Get the idea?
