Thanks you all.
I never thought of the 500 cady.
i did some recherche and measurement. I think the Cummings is going to be too much mod for me.
The problem with it is so dam long and, well between the inter-cooler rad and the rest of the accessory I'm will have to fun into the firewall. Bad idea.
The 454 is still a good option, fining a 80-90 1 tons truck, only problem is to cool it down, not much room for a rad in there.
As far as rear-end will I'm not keeping the old one, for those reason.
Those multi pieces rims are not legal here, and don’t want to fight it. Since I'm out of rims.
That rear end bolt pattern is a nightmare to find something, with the old dual piston drum and hard to find parts I'm out on the rear end, as the from end if i change the rear to a modernize one, and changing the front to match well I'm going to trow a Dana 60 front and Dana 70 rear all disk and trow a t case being the trany, instant 4x4
I'm keeping the frame and up, the power train will be more this century just without computer , also i be adding power steering and power brake to it, this will make it easy to put back on the road.
Here in New Brunswick Canada, we have a yearly safety inspection, and once a car is out of the road and put back on, it need a engineer inspection, more in dept that the safety one. Make the engineer happy by having a good drive train and component, not some fixed up wire together deal
