It depends how much money you want to spend really. Ford 4R100's are real tough trannies and work great behind them. However, you'll have about $5k in one before it's done. GM 4L80E's will work too, but you still have to buy an adapter plate and a controller. I like the 47RH's because they can be directly bolted to these engines using a dodge engine plate. You have to use 2 toggle switches or vacuum switches to control over drive and lock up. I'm going to put both on mine and will post up when I do so. I'll have all the good parts in this trans except billet shafts but it'll still be a super strong transmission.

Tug o war is done on a 300ft track! I used to hook trucks all the time. It's not all about power for sure. 2wd trucks don't stand a chance most times.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-18-2012, 03:47 AM

Over the weekend I didn't get as much done as I would have liked to. I had to make some repairs to the shop, and we had some family stuff to attend to. Here's what I've gotten done lately.

I was curious how the turbo was going to fit over there and here is what it looks like with a S362 on it. I plan on running a HX35W as long as the turbo is rebuild-able.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-19-2012, 04:05 PM

Made some progress this morning on building the engine cross member. Still have a lot left to do but it's a start.

The cross member will be able to be removed with the engine mounts able to stay in the frame that way if you ever need to remove the oil pan you can do so without removing the engine.

Looking good Ryan!

Great work there Ryan!

Im really surprised at how much room you have between the diff and oil pan because everyone else that talks about doing this swap says that you HAVE TO have at least 4" of lift.

This truck has technically 4" of lift due to the 4"x4" square tubing inbetween the frame and front spring mounts. It may equal out to 2 1/2-3" with stock shackle bars though. It was pretty tight and took a while to get the engine right where I wanted it.

Looking good Ryan!!

I know I probably over looked it, but what style motor mount is the one bolted to the block on the passenger side?

Ex, I know that's a 94-02 style mount on the drivers side because its the same kind on my 97 Dodge CTD.

6lcummins · 02-07-2012, 02:30 AM

Driver side is 2nd gen 12v and passenger side is 24V if I remember right.

No big progress, but I did manage to get a HX40W for this truck!

Thanks. I more than likely will. I've had some interest and one good offer, but I couldn't swing ther dough to complete his end of the trade.

I have a triple billet Goerend converter I need to get restalled, so I'll just need about $1200 to buy most of the parts to rebuild the trans. Then drive shafts and so on. This week I'm going to go get a 73-79 front clip for it. I need more hours in a day.
