What was the original engine?
I don't know... Is your truck fine when you ride with a passenger?

The engine and tranny won't weigh more than an adult male so I'm sure it's fine to do.

What's next, are you going to say the stock brakes can't handle a V8 either?



Lot's of funny ideas around here...



Back OT, Advanced Adapters makes an adapter to go from a th350 to the stock transfer case. Supposedly the stock tcases are fine with the extra power if driven sensibly. All you have to do is get a special longer shaft installed in the tranny for it to work. The TH350 need not be out of a 4 wheel drive truck either.

By using the adapter your stock speedometer will still work, and you should be able to use your stock driveshafts without modification too.
