Every old ram I had with standard gearing(321-355) was hurting on the highway with overdrive. That was with 33's though mostly.

OK give it to me I have never done it but would use a 700r4 and a 208 or 241, buy a trans and case together is how I would do it. Make sure you get a pass side drop case. Try pirate 4x4 website for better advice, should be an easy swap.

I will never beat on it hard so it will live. I am hard core Mopar,(been drag racin these cars from 1968 until 2 years ago) however they don't have what I need for my old power wagon so here goes!

Youll still need to source a gm Transfercase and probably Fab a crossmember or mod currect. I plan on a 518 behind the 400 in my wifes 70s Powerwagon. She wont wheel it like I plan to mine. Good luck

Good luck yep if you can find an early 518 they had 3 wires 1 hot and 2 grounds. and if my memory serves me correctly they even had a 518 that had no lock up, so any 727 converter would work but they would be harder to find 70 duster full chassis super pro 416 CNC Indybrock heads 727 w/brake best so far 1.212 60 6.219 in 1/8 at 110.88 9.768 at 137.81 1/4
