Need Help Fitting a 5.9 Cummins into My 88 Suburban
« on: August 09, 2013, 10:38:38 PM »
I'm doing a swap and I'm having problems.  I'm putting a 5.9 Cummins in my 88 Suburban and I can't find motor mounts or ac/alt brackets or anything else I need.  Can anyone help on that or provide some ideas or any other advise that would help?

Thanks

Someone told me I could cut into my core so I don't need to buy aftermarket ac/alt brackets wich sounds easier to do then buying parts I don't need anyone know what or how to do that that can give me an idea?
