This project is really interesting, never noticed it before and I can say I had to read it end to end.

What bothers me is the auto. My 82 C-code 2wd diesel went from anemic performance and 21mpg to 28mpg (the 6 months it was left on the road) by swapping in an NV3500 5 speed, no need for an NV4500, the 3500 can easily be built to handle the 6.2 and its 100% drop in replacement for a 700r4, plus you will never again need to worry about flexplates or overheating.

Hell I could burn rubber while already moving with 2.73 gears in 1st, I could not ever do that even at a standstill when it was automatic.

Cheers
Ryan
