12v Excursion Redo
I didn't want to hijack my first gen G56 swap thread any more ha.. so I figured I would start a new thread in the conversion forum for the project.
I had been looking for a decent Excursion to do a 12v manual trans swap, I had a extra 12v engine etc. I was all set to buy a cheaper gas 4x4 Excursion when my wife found a ad for a 4x4 Excursion with a 12v cummins and nv4500 already installed etc! Only problem was it was lifted 8" and we were planning on this being a family ride etc ha......





I talked to the owner and decided to check it out.I flew out to Ohio and bought it. I probably jumped on it too fast etc oh well.
The Excursion was built from a 5.4 gasser, it is gold and it has tan leather. The previous owner was Shaun Dance. He built it and he is not on the internet boards etc... He does Structural steel / farm supply so he fabricated his own Engine mounts, tracbars etc. He bought the Excursion from the original owner who had it rolling on 22" rims and low profile tires ..kinda like a Donk.
Shaun took a 1994 School bus and removed the 12v p pumped cummins out for the Excursion. He also sourced a 2nd gen 5 spd cummins. He lives near WoodDruff Diesel. He worked out a deal with them to rebuild the NV4500 rebuild it with upgraded shafts and 5th gear etc. He had Woodruff oring the cyl head also. Shaun added a 8" BDS lift and took the low profile tires off and added some 37" Kumho off road tires. The Excursion was used for cruising and some local pulls. There are 2 videos of it on youtube etc. I drove the Excursion home and have ripped it apart and I am changing a lot of it. I decided to do this thread to help thers with similar projects and to document the conversion etc...
Thanks
deo
