A 1st gen 5.9 cummins will slide right in the engin bay with no problems, it's the same as putting one in the pickup of the same year as your RC.
I've got a good fab man lined up to make them, and the guys who have done them on the Ramcharger forums are giving me good specs to use for our truck, so I think they'll turn out well.
I'm not a 'diesel guy,' but have followed them with mild interest in Dodge trucks since they adopted the Cummins back in the early '90's. I think if I had as many RC's as I have AR's , I'd build a diesel one, just for the experience. Sorta like my FDE AR - I had it cerakoted to try "something different!"
