    Engine swap

    Didn't get them, they went with the donor car, I Can, Im told use the pump from the 360 that came with the rv, that just means I only have to find an alt that I can afford, as the alts from both rvs are seized solid, it sucks the auto electric guy in town is 6-8 month backlogged otherwise I'd...

    Engine swap

    Power steering pump pully has me held me up, all the rebuilds i have found need me to have a good pully and a reservoir, that's why I grabbed the 3.9, twin v belts, 93 amp alt, and a good ps pump, sadly no longer have access to a lathe or milling machine

    Aluminum wheels for a 1978 Dodge 1 ton motorhome

    Sadly there are not 100% 3/4 ton rims I have tried all 3 brands, as well as a bunch of aftermarket, because the 3/4 ton rims have 9/16 holes and the mh has 5/8 studs like a 1 ton, I even drilled out a f250 alloy rim by 1/32 but they still didn't fit right

    Converter & gear ratio

    Ok, thanks, you think the stall, diameter etc on the 440 converter should be good? Looking forward to spring so I can try to make some headway on this, every time I drive it now I expect it to punch out a rod it's reving so high
