if thats the case...i'd sooner just buy a 12v 6bt cummins for 8 grand and be done with it, then i know everythings right...and nothings rigged up. i didnt reallize it would take 7+ grand to install a 1500 dollar engine in a truck. basically i wanted to do this whenever the 360 shoots craps, but i think i'll just stuff another 360 in there...and do some mods to get the power up rather than spend that kind of money.
i worked at a dodge dealer as a line tech for a few years...theres no dodge auto that doesnt have a ton of money stuck in it to really handle what the 6bt puts out. which is why we had a full time trans tech to rebuild just truck trannys. i'd hate to put money out for a ticking time bomb(another transmission) to put behind the 4bt, and have IT go out on me too. they stuck 700r4's behind the 4bt...my suburbans 700r4 (fresh rebuild) barely held together with a meager 6.2 diesel in front of it...yet the 700r4's held up in the 4bt vans i assume? i could easily get a convertor for it, if thats gonna be the problem.
