[QUOTE="JDDurfey, post: 1840120, member: 39189"] I have been involved with several Cummins builds. I hope you don't plan on using the factory engine mounts that came on that engine. They won't last. However, the factory mounts from a 94-98 12 valve work great. In the Dodge pickup they are different from side to side, but the right side (driver side) will fit either side and comes straight off the block. These engine mounts work very well and last forever and by using the right side mount on both sides of the engine your mounting tabs will be symmetrical. The 727 trans is not the best trans, but it can be improved. ATS Diesel in Colorado builds about the best 727. I have one from them and it worked flawlessly after I had them rebuild it. For off-road, I would strongly suggest keeping the t-case divorced, because the tail stock of the 727 won't hold up to the pounding with the weight of the t-case hanging from it. I guess you could build some sort of mount for the t-case if you did mate the two together. [/QUOTE]
