after driving on the highway at 65 it's maxed out in Rpms , some thinking and research I conclude that the th400 is going out and a 4l80e that came out from my 99 3500 which I replaced with a good gm rebuild I go from junking a dually. I think all the trans needs is a rebuild It would start...

Don't tell me that tell my iPad that!!!!!

Well I messed with the afc housing on the pump and got it to deliver more fuel with low boost and man what a difference, Cummins must have detuned thes things for the gearing and fuel economy for the vans. I also have a junk th400 I robbed the governor off of it and grinder on the wieghts and it...

Here one driving around town for you https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T_FRs2JMbt8

Sure rusty I'm going to the store later I do one there. Now I got it going I'm find all sorts of excuses to take it out!!!!!

Time for a update after almost two years of starting this project the motor finally sitting in the frame. So far I only made one mistake and welded the plate for the motor mount on the crossmember on the wrong side and thatsnthe only part of the welding I did that looked really really good so I...

Never thought of sleeves in the holes that would totally relieve the stress off the frame thanks for the idea!!!! I seen them online too there pretty cheap and inexpensive for the plate and bracket. This one pretty bad I can turn the colum by hand and watch the fram twist.

Been busy and tried, 3 trucks in one week to work on AFTER my work hours!!!!! Still disassembling then engine on the 3rd freaking intertrashionals!!!!!! So updates are going to be slow. I hacked away at the cross member little by little some in the garage and some at the welding shop at my work...

I thought of a remote relocation adaptor but this one was free so I'm going to see how this one works and if I don't like it I'm going with a remote plate. An 1000 would be nice but hard to find a wrecked Dmax around my area. I could pick up a 4l80e easier and cheaper then a 1000 plus I already...

So I scraped my plan with using the original mounts on the frame and modifying the original crossmember. I made some make shift mounts from some scrap metal to see if I could get it to work but they sit to high and to close. If I went with a aftermarket adaptor I would have been ok but because...

that why when you find an cummins it important to find one with the adaptor you want. But if I wanted to put a 47re from a dodge a adaptor plate from a dodge cummins is cheap!!!! I seen complete packages for 200 from junked trucks. I'm just going with the gm one because it's what I the engine...

Here's a vid of it running

6bt or 5.9 is longer and heavier by 300 lbs and 4bt is about the same weight and just a tad longer then a 6.2 so no serious mods to the frame and suspension have to be done with a 4bt and a th400 can handle the stock rating of a 4bt so no trans changes ether. But I already have a 2 inch lift on...

On to it!!! 2 days ago I test fitted the engine in the frame for the first time and ran into my first hump.... The front crossmember in front of the motor mounts needs to be lowed I already had it in my mind this was going to happen but I wasn't shocked when it did. P.S. It pays to know people...

Thanks warthog!!!!! Life took a crude ball and I had to grow up!!!! But it a real fun project!!!! Well to answer you question ODfever (by the way your not offending me I open to civilized discussions, questions are a good thing thats how we all learn!!!!)it's not about speed really its about the...

There was some lets try again

So here's the motor. A p pumped 4bt with a Chevy adaptor plate out of a UTZ van. I plan on using a th400 behind it for right now until I have for funds for a 4l80e or switch everything over to a build 47re we'll see what lays ahead on this. heres the trans I want to use, a rebuild th400 4x4...
