I have an m1010 with 4.10 gears in the rear and am still not too happy with the revs at highway speeds (I got it that way, so I don't know how the 4.56 gears are...). Also, I'm not too pleased with the hill climbing ability of this beast.
I've come across a possible donor vehicle for both a turbo and a 4-speed. It's a 1987 Suburban (6.2L) that's apparently running fine, but the price may be low enough to make this economically feasible.
I've read a bit about swapping the transmission, but has anyone here actually put a 700R4 in the M1010 or equivalent? What would I need in addition to what's already in the Suburban?
I'm assuming that the turbo swap would be pretty straightforward. Perhaps need to fab some exhaust parts?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Greg
