    I got a 2005 Peterbilt 379L that has a isx with a hole on each side of the block. Now i have a 2006 century that i want to use as a donor. Any one do something similar? and anyone know any mechanics in Ontario that would be able to do something like this? not trying to put another isx back in it. would like to have a detroit under the hood.

    With the two extra holes on each side of the block you can rebuild it into a eight cylinder now.

    Call kustom truck in Coos Bay Oregon for the wiring harnes. They do lots of these type of swaps plus build glider kit trucks.

    talked to mawk and kustom. kustom wants like 3500 for a new harness. mawk wants me to send my current computer to firewall harness and will rework it for about 1400. they couldnt tell me anything for the swap though. i dont think that classic oil pan would be needed.

    You can get the Series 60 with a front or rear sump. I believe you just have to order a pick up and a different pan.

    Someone already mentioned Kustom truck. I recently purchased a harness from them for a conversion to put a 6NZ in my 09' Pete. I had heard enough horror stories about Mawk so steered clear of them. Kustom Truck was able to supply me with everything including rear engine mount brackets and charge air cooler/ Radiator pipes. Everything went together very smoothly surprisingly. Only down side is the cost they are expensive but with that said I will say this. By far the best Technical service I have ever encountered. I worked with a guy named Nick and he answered every question I had and also made me aware of a few things I didn't have questions for but would of later.
