Caterpillar in a International

One of the joyys of living in AZ,,coldest we get here is 40*,as far as the power i allready know about that. The Cummins ISB is a great engine,its just been done too much. Since i have a unique truck i gotta do a unique swap and Cat fits the bill,i have always wante the low end grunt andd 630lb/ft at 1800 rpm is perfect.
 
i got the front crossmember out, i need to figure how to get the top of the firewall cut to move the engine back
 
i figured out how to cut the firewall, i will be using a plasma torch

well i guess i should update this lol

i have changed what axles i want to run (again), i am running CHevy 3500HD 1996-2000 5 lug front 10 lug rear. i got a killer deal deal on them complete :)
 
That is going to be alot of weight up front for a ifs, I would reconsider that choice.
 
this is NOT the IFS edition. thus is what was used on the P30 chassis, IE bread trucks, service trucks this is the TRUE 3500 HD leaf sprung on all 4 corners. i would never use IFS, I HATE IFS. THis is what i am going to use
