the new dodge trucks all use the new tf althouth its called somethig different there are no bb tf however i think all the internels maybe interchangeable and the od tailshaft used youre best source for info my be the chrysler tech line number and the various mopar mags i think this was coverd in an issue sometime sgo i would have to back track my collection as far as hp or torgue the v10 is 300 hp and the cummins can do 600 ftpds of torgue how much more do you need or you might be able to get an adapter plate i think i saw those for sale once also basicly you can do what ever you want as long as you have the cash good luck
: I have a '73 W200 that I am building. I have a 440 and a freshly built 727 to drop in. I've heard rumors that the currrent overdrive trannies are just a good old Torqueflite with an overdrive unit in place of the tailshaft housing. Unfortunately, I don't have any idea as to how strong it is, or if it's true. My future plans call for a 500 cube stump puller to replace the 440 at a later date. Does anyone know if I can put the factory overdrive on my big block case and how strong will it be? I have the remote mount 205 T-case and know it would need moved, but right now that would be easy, compared to when the truck is all together. Thanks for the help.
