I am putting a 4bt into a Scout Traveller. My bread van has a t19 tranny, and the Scout has a t19 tranny. I pulled the Scout tranny yesterday and it appears that they are identical. The Scout tranny has the transfer case bolted up and the bread truck is 2wd. I believe I can pull the Cummins and transmsiion and take the parts from the back of the 4x4 tranny so that I can add the transfer case to the breadvan t19 and make it a 4x4. Then I can mount the tranny and T-case just like they were stock, and not have to cut drivelines, and fab parts. My concern of course is my top speed. The bread van goes 63 top speed and I need more. The Scout gears are 3.73's, and it looks like my speeds in the Scout will be the same as in the bread truck. Of course I could go to a ZF tranny which will cost money and hassle, or I could go to a Ranger overdrive and get my speeds up and have split gears. Or I could just throw in a set of 3.08 gears. I am concerned about odd the line and slipping the clutch to get going with the 3.08 gears. What would you do and why? I need to talk through this.
