I thought I would start a thread on my project to get help as needed. So far I have the entire chevy 4bt parts in my shop as well as a cable modulator and intercooler that will be cut down to fit. I am using a TH475 for now to keep initial cost down and to get on the road sooner. The truck is 4.11:1 geared and I plan on upgrading to 3.54:1 right after I get the engine swap finished. I am using a 2nd gen dodge intercooler that will be cut down to 12" tall and have the tube inlets modified to fit the chevy core support holes.
I have a 6bt located and a deal done as soon as the guy gets it out of the truck it is in. He has been a little slow to get it pulled and shipped to me. The engine is a 130,000 mile, 195HP, 1993 from a F700 Ford. I plan on installing it complete as it is except the dowel pin fix. I will probably also set up electric fans depending on the fan location when in the truck. I will also be figuring out a high mount A/C location to keep from chopping the frame and to keep A/C lines as they are now.
Here is the truck before the 6.5 transplant cratered:
