Re: detroit diesel swap???????

One ton, I think the best route for you would be either a 3-53 or a 4-53. Most everything else Detroit is going to be almost too heave for the stock suspension. If you would be ablte to luck out and find one already hooked to a trans, I would try to go that route. GM did use them in the late 70's in their big trucks. Usually hooked to a 5 speed. Cool projext!!
