Definitely an awesome off-road motor. WOuld definitely make for some strong motoring. How much of a bolt-in would it be? Connects to your trans, or will you have to change that out? The rest is a bolt in, wiring, fuel lines, all that. It would make life easier if you could find a complete vehicle to get the whole set-up. I know with the V-6 conversion that I'm doing, having the whole vehicle has made what I'm doing much easier.

i know plenty of people have done it they say i need to upgrade axles and with the aftermarket world growing they have adapter plates that will allow me to use a chevy 700r4

Hey there, how about oil pan fitment, all that? My understanding is that that motor is in the Frito-lay kind of bread vans. I just figured in my searching for an acceptable diesel motor those would have the typical huge oil pans making it a hard fit into my application.

would not use that tranny ,maybe a th400 would be better to handle the torque no O.D but make it up with large tires lolchope045 wrote:i know plenty of people have done it they say i need to upgrade axles and with the aftermarket world growing they have adapter plates that will allow me to use a chevy 700r4
