Engine and Adapter Package – Cummins R2.8 with GM Manual Dual Starter Pocket Adapter

Description

Finally a short “Shorty” solution for mating the Cummins R2.8 to just about any GM manual transmissions is here.  Quick Draw Brand has made a kit that is easy to install, cost effective, and works.  This package includes a complete crate engine from Cummins as well as the Quick Draw GM Manual Transmission Adapter Kit that works with the factory DOC filter.  Our R2.8-to-GM manual adapter is the shortest solution on the market at only 23″ in total length from the transmission mounting surface on the bellhousing to the front crankshaft pulley.  In addition, our adapter kit has two starter pockets that enable starter installation on the driver or passenger side of the vehicle for maximum flexibility.

Our Cummins R2.8 to GM manual package is the most complete kit you will find. You will receive the Cummins R2.8 Crate engine, brand new from Cummins Repower. In addition we include the Quick Draw GM stick shift adapter kit, which effectively turns the back of the Cummins R2.8 into a GM small block or LS.  The Quick Draw adapter works with the  SM465, SM420, NV3500, NV4500, TKO, and T56 transmissions.  The GM manual adapter uses a factory Cummins flywheel, so no worries about welds coming apart.  Compare the price of this engine and adapter package vs. the price of just the Cummins R2.8 and  you will find that a complete package makes the whole process easier and cheaper.  This is not a complete installation kit (engine and transmission mounts are not included), but our package includes the most important parts to get your project bolted together. Utilizing the passenger side starter pocket will allow the package to fit in a vehicle with frame rails 30 inches apart or wider;  frame rails under 30 inches apart will require relocating the the DOC and utilizing the drivers side starter pocket. Note that some grinding to the bellhousing on some combinations may be required in the starter pocket.
