Okay, heres an update. Gutted the Dodge, replaced some gaskets, and threw it together to weld in mounts... So heres the pics:


Poor old truck...


Top view of engine


Unlike the truck, the engine was well taken care of most of its life...


Engine, tranny, and t-case suspended in air.


Passenger side of the new drivetrain


First fit. That crossmember is going to have to go!!


Much better


Radiator moved forward into the grille shell.


Driver side motor mount tacked in place.


Passenger motor mount tacked in place.


Engine finally set in place.


Transmission


Finally, a centered output t-case!!

This is what Ive done in the past few weeks.

I only get to work on it for a few hours on Fridays while the wife is at work, and for a few hours on Saturday or Sunday.

Also been helping a buddy rebuild his Chevy 350, and fix up his 3/4-ton Chevy. Thats when I actually get a second hand.
