I need pics of conversion
A buddy of mine wants me to help him drop a 91 CTD into an 87 Chevy Crew cab. Save your Chevy hate for someone else. I just want some visual aids for the conversion and maybe some pointers on typical problems encountered with remidies. He plans on using the original 5 speed. We need to find a way to mate a trans case. I figured we could run the stock t-case divorsed or something of that nature. The Chevy has a 6.2 with a TH400. Will the TH400 hold up to his young heavy foot? What kind of wiring issues will I run into? The donor motor( still running in the 2wd D250) looks real plain and simple. Looks can be decieving though. I have searched this subject here and all over the internet. It just isn't real popular and not posted with any real detail from what I have found.
Thanks,
Steve

I'm not having much luck here. Any advice on search modification for me? Or other sites that might have what I need. The sites listed above aren't detailed enough. I would really like some pics.

The **** idiot went out and traded the 2wd Dodge for an 06 mega cab 4x4 6 spd. I guess I don't have to do the conversion. He had to play keeping up with the Jones'. **** kids are so impatient.
