    Blew the cummins motor in my 1983 peterbilt logging truck. Still solid chassis and body, just old like me. Have a 3406 B model cat freshly rebuild out of wrecked truck. Want to swap into my rig but am not sure of necessary changes in motor mounts and such. Have all the mounting hardware from a 1988 Peterbilt that had a cat motor and need advice from someone who possably has made this sort of swap before. Any and all help would be appreciated.
    Thank you, John

    is the b model air to air or air to water that will be the biggest thing what cummins did u have if it is a low flow then you have to mod the rad should be able to get factory brakets at a junk yard for the cat to go in a 359 i think the mounts are not the same on those years
