But for now I think I'll just do the 4l80 and when I save up the money build the 6.5... then I recon I...

    6.5 swap

    Okay so what about a good way to get more pulling power out of the 350 vortec that's in it? I'm still doing the bigger rear end and springs... Then when I blow up the 4l60 I'll change to a 4l80

The donor truck has the old dash and the truck I want to put it in is a 97 it has the new dash... Also I'm...

    6.5 swap

    Hey guys I'm new here and just wanted to hear what y'all think about swapping a 6.5 and nv4500 into a half ton 97 extended cab regular bed z71...
