How about a Cummins 4BT? They are simple and are non-computer controlled (although there are some I heard). Not sure if you can get an adapter for the stock transmission or you have to get another transmission/transfer case though.

i would like to do a 4bt but it will probly never happen. ive been looking at a lot of propane kits. thats probly as far as ill make it. i just spent a bunch of money on dual cases for my tranny so swapping for another one to do a swap isnt gonna work for me..

Thanks for the props man. This forum seems kinda dead, unless I'm looking in all the wrong places?

Took the trail gear 3" rear springs out and swapped them with 63" Chevys. What big difference. It rides way better and it flexes 10x better.
