If he has the whole truck you could put the NV4500 behind it too so you would have 5sp too!! sounds like a winner to me!

These guys have what you need to do it right.

When my 7.3 eats the dust, a modified 6bt cummins is going to take its place.

We would have what you need for plates and motor mounts. The Destroke kits are top of the line, much better quality then Ford-Cummins stuff. You could get an adapter plate to go to your 4spd or get you a NV4500 which is better in the long run. Definetly a worthy swap.

the dodge is an auto 2wd so id have to swap out the 4spd or at least change the axle to 3.55 i believe its T19 or 18 it held up to the abuse of the 460 (im talkin clutch drops n stuff, this was 1st truck in high school)
