You have a AT3.4? Lucky you. The length of the motor fan to back of block must be at least 2-3" LESS than the back of radiator to firewall distance. The Spicer 3053A takes an SAE#3 bellhousing and clutch, if the Cummins has that you're fine. Since the Cummins is a six things might be tight lengthwise, the case length of the Spicer is 16.5" (measure to be sure). 5.83s with the Cummins would yield 2650-2850 rpm at 60 mph, depending on tire size (9.00-11.00R16). Good for hilly/mountainous terrain. With 4.89s, rpms would be 2400 at 60 with 9.00R16s. The motor has peak HP at 3600, peak torque at 2000-2400.
