What engine mounts will I need?
I assume I will need to swap the tail of the trany to get it back to a 2wd application, What will I need.
Tranny mount, I saw were the post indicate junkyard find and some hole relocation> I saw this universal mount that has slotted holes for adjustments, anyone used something like this before?

Just got the truck from AZ last week, I have not even tried to start the 6 cylinder. (sat for the last 20years without running) I am in south Florida and will make the 250 with tranny available to a good home cheap. |
If you read this thread you will figure out what to do with the engine. As for the tranny. To switch from a 4x4 output shaft to a 2wd output shaft you will have to take the trans apart to swap out the output shafts. A 400 trans take more horsepower to turn then say a 350 trans. If you go that route you might want to put a 700 r4 trans to get the overdrive. If funds are low then maybe you might not want to do that.
