I know that there are folks out there that have done this swap in other bodies, and you have to remember that the sweet spot for this engine is 1600 or so rpms. It'll pull the gear, especially if you are not towing heavy.

What are you going to use the truck for? Are you going to tow with it? Is an automatic mandatory?
