I've got a '94 2500 with over 200K miles that I use to tow with.
I've rebuilt the rear end and just had the tranny rebuilt, but it's already acting up. I know it's under warranty, and I'll be taking it back for service.
But, I just found a '74 Dodge down the street with a 440/727 for $1500 that runs strong.
SOooo, my question is what would it take to transplant this engine/tranny into my '94 Ram? Has anyone ever attemted this swap? I'd been thinking for a while that I'd like to find a 383 for my truck, but seeing how the one down the street just showed up, it's got me thinking hard.

Read that thread, then get in contact with that guy if you can, he could probably tell ya more about the logistics of it.
