An O/D trans is certainly NOT a necessary change. But the truck didn't get its name for nothing: The BBDBH (Big Block Dirt Bike Hauler). 2 hours up, 2 hours back, as often as we can! The mechanical part of the swap and the functional tuning I'm fortunately very comfortable with. But, ya, it's tough to pull a working 400 out of an original build truck!
