Re: '77 Camper Special

I haven't posted in a while but a lot has been going on. After spending a year reading up and buying parts, I finally pulled the trigger on doing a cummins 4BT swap. I will post pix this week.
I could have done a Cummins swap in about 5 different ways, In the end I bought an engine out of a Fedex truck. It adapts directly to a Muncie 4 speed. I put in a Ranger OD. She drives pretty good! Super narrow power band so I am glad to have the OD. She has a ton of leg and it cruises really well on the highway. It is loud and i have to do something about that eventually, but it is fun to drive. I have to admit I miss the V8 sound but so far I am liking it
