Just got her today, she doesn't even have a name yet! I'll post some pictures of the interior later, it's basically a bare box right now as all of the original gear from the back was removed at some point. I plan to turn it into a camper, but not until I get around to rebuilding the motor first. It has a really tired and sad sounding 318 under the hood.

That's a great tranny, and would work with a BT4 (and a BT6) turbo. It would not be fast, but you would maintain speed up all but the steepest grades, and still have pretty good over-all mileage to boot. Altitude would make no difference, either. Too bad the BT6's are so expensive, it's a great engine. And too bad that you would need a complete engine, not just the core. The 360 is also a great conversion, just a gas hog, though not as bad as a Hemi. You should wind up at around 15 to 16 highway on the straight & level with the weight of that truck. Good luck!
