Hey Guys... just been waiting for my 454 to pop before I started a 4BT swap... the time has now come, and need to get this started ASAP... as it turns out there seems to be better deals on 6BT donor trucks, and I would preffer to have the extra power if the swap is not going to be that much more dificult.
I will be running the 4L80E as it has a fresh (15 mile) rebuild on it... I would preffer to leave it in the stock location with what ever T-case is behind it... I know I can acomplish this with the 4BT but I will have to figure out if it is possible with the 6BT.
I figure I will be purchasing a bread van adapter for it
just need to make a choice on the motor...
dovebid 4bt.... not much coming up this month.
12v 6BT from a 92 ram (complete running donor truck)
24V 6BT from an '01 ram (motor, harness, computer)
... I think the best choice would be the complete 12V truck as it will have most of the little things I need and I can still part it out to recoup a few bucks... but I can get a smoking deal on the 24V from a trusted source... but I am worried that the computer is going to make things a little complicated.
my other concern is what I need to do to convert the fuel system from gas to diesel... can I just flush the system and use my existing tank or am I going to need to replace all of the lines and tank aswell.
any insight to anything above would be great!
