This is an engine swap from a 350/THM400 to the 6.2L/THM700R4. Primary use for this vehicle is for pulling my 21’ Hallett and car carrier, and general purpose bug out vehicle (BOV) with moderate trail use. The heavy wheeling will be restricted to my Jeeps. I am not expecting to pull excessively heavy loads nor set any land speed records. This is the quickest, most economical solution as I have all the parts and two donor vehicles.

I know that this isn’t the most robust engine/trans combo, but I am happy with the MPG. I am mainly interested in maximizing my current combo while accumulating the required parts for a Cummins 6BT/NV4500 swap as well as necessary frame mods (on other frame).

Thank you,

Joe
