Tech Question
kenny tippetts, amite, LA, 1973 dodge demon 5.2
I have a 73 Demon clone - it started out as a Duster but I like the Demon look better. Anyway, I am putting a 5.2 Magnum with the steering column and wiring harness from a '98 truck so far it is going together well. My question is that I have 2 automatic transmissions, both were attached to 5.9s, one came out of a 2000 Ram van 3500 the other is out of a 98 Ram truck 2500, which year of tranny is better? (Stronger,cheaper to build,more plentiful) or does it really matter. Your insight would be great thanks, Mr Rick, I appreciate it.
Kenny-
They should both be 46REs, which are, basically, electronically-governed 518s...and the 518 was a 727 with overdrive. The two are very close to identical; if they have similar mileage, I'd use the 2000, after confirming that the wiring connectors are interchangeable.
Be sure to use a zero-balance converter and drive plate.
Rick
