Which Cummins engine/trans combo to use?

I need some advice. I have a choice of buying either a:

'93 W250, Cummins, 4x4, Automatic
or
'94 2500, Cummins, 4x4, Automatic

Both have slightly modded pumps, exhaust, intake.

I'm putting it in a '78 F250 Crewcab 4x4. It's a daily driver with only about 5% of the miles hauling this (When the Bronco is on my car trailer I weigh in at about 16,000 lbs):



Knowing that which transmission should I get?

With the whole non-lockup overdrive issue in the '93, should I go with the '94?

Let's not take into account the differences in the pump, cost, mileage, etc.

Ryan

Go with the 94. You'll be happier with the p-pump over the VE pump. 94 turbo is the hx35 which is better than the 93 turbo. Transmissions will be similar but he 94 will handle more torque and iirc has a lockup converter. Good luck and if you pass send me the info.
