if you want to stay gm a lot of guys put them in the mid 70's to late 80's trucks. Those can be found for under $1000. The p30 step vans that were converted to the 3.9 cummins had a turbo 400 trans which also came factory on a lot of those chevy trucks. If you want overdrive you can find a 700r4 pretty easy as well. I know a guy in Ohio that sells engines with the chevy adapter for $1700 so basically all you are missing is a set of engine mounts, the right torque converter, some easy wiring, and some new plumbing. Can be done for around $5000 depending on what you want to do.

So am I. As soon as I can sell the dodge(bought it for the cummins) this is what I'm planning on building as well. If you get serious about a 4bt you should cruise over to www.4btswaps.com
