Hello Guys,
my project is to use a short wb 4x4 Dodge magnum chassis, implant a 12 V Cummins and mount a Scout Traveller body to create a nice running, nice braking solid offroading and boat pulling Scout.
I was offered a ´99 4x4 Ram V8 Magnum rollover for a good price and I wonder if I could replace the stock 5 speed with a six speed or automatic and a powerfull !2V with twins.
The vehicle would be pretty light weight because I plan to use the fiberglass Scout body (all the others rust like hell) so I guess the axles and suspension can take the power of a strong Cummins. I am not sure if the transfer case of a magnum V8 is the same like on a diesel truck.
Does anybody know? What else has to be considered using a swb chassis?
any hints would hepl, here in Europe hardly anybody has a clue regarding US trucks.
drive safely Thomas Tork
