I'm getting all the parts for my diesel swap, I have a appointment at a the local fritolay to look at some trucks he said there was a 4bt with a th400. It should be a repower, so if I get the truck I will have the convertion mounts and while I has looking at advance adapters for a np231 adapter I saw a chevy engine mounts for a v8 you think it would work with the convertion mounts in the P30?

Then moving onto axles I currently have d30/35 combo I know the 35 would grenade, so I found a ford 8.8 with 3:73s it should take the torque of the 4bt easily, but the front end is were I get stumped, I've been lookin for a D44 with 3:73 to swap in, I'm swaping in the 8.8 this weekend and next weekend/thankgiving break the engine. I was thinking I could weld some on some supports to the d30 to help it take the weight I remember someone but 4bt/nv4550 into a TJ with stock axle, so the d30 can take the weight but what about the torqe?
And since I would have to get heavier coils I saw these air bag to help support the front end.
