I currently have a 2.9l and just installed a 6inch lift and 35s. I was going to swap a Dana 35 in the front end this winter. And after that was going to address the engine and trans.
So what I have
I received a free 2.9l and FM145 also everything to swap a manual into my truck.
So should I port the heads on the 2.9 and rebuild it slap some headers on it an swap in a manual.
Or
Pick up a carbed 302 and c4 trans get the advanced adapters kit and put the BW1354 on it and go that route. And I am assuming the 1354 will work with the advanced adapters swap it's made for a 1350 is there a diff in the bolt patern.
I figure I can swap in the manual and rebuild the 2.9l for less than 2k. Or do the 302 for prolly about 4k just don't know witch one is worth it.
