Smile Adding a section to the sticky - need help

Hey guys-

I think the sticky needs an "Engine Swap" section. There has been a lot of interest lately in Ramcharger, Crew Cab, and just plain gasser swaps. I'd also be interested in swaps of 1st gen engines into non-Dodge vehicles. If you know of good "How I Did It" threads/blogs/pages please post links in this thread.

Thanks.

Good idea. I've also been thinking of suggesting that a sticky be made w/ all the flywheel housing/bellhousing/trans/clutch hydraulic combos also, it seems those questions come up a lot too.

If I knew how to work the computer and photo posting better I would do a write up on my swap.
Here is a gallery on FTE that was a big help to me

Here is another

I hope they don't mind me braging them up here. Both were a HUGE help in my swap. I used a lot of their ideas, and came up with a few of my own.

Here's my blog for my crewcab getting the '93 ctd/nv4500. I'm not very far along, but I am hoping to include a lot of good info.

Soon I will be adding a ramcharger/'92 ctd/auto swap.

Dave, a headgasket replacement with pics would be another good thread to have if you can find someone to write it up...

I would love for someone else to do all the hard work and figure out how I can fit a 4BT/4L60E combo into my Blazer. Just for better mpg's and the fun of it having a cummins, I'd leave the power nice and low for highway cruising and light towing.
