The one gear I found online and purchased was just refunded to me. So I will be using the original 5th gear I have. Next time I have to rebuild it I’ll have to swap ratios most likely. Hopefully that won’t be for a long long time.

Got the housings cleaned up. Just need to slap the 5th gear nut on. Purchased a new 5th gear fork because the OG cracked while I was driving the roll pins in. Glad I seen the crack. 
Done and torqued to 275ft lbs 
How many uggaduggas is that?
I bought a giant 3/4” breaker bar and one of those torque adapters. Work fantastic and was really not hard to get to 275 at all with all that leverage. Went to 170 230 and then 275. Highly suggest welding a bracket to your bench though haha
I had my bigger than me little brother holding back on the garage floor when I did mine lol

Still need some more cleaning on the housings but here it is. 
I thought this breaker bar was 4 feet but it’s only 36in super heavy duty though. Didn’t even slightly bend. It’s my new favorite tool. 
Thinking around Christmas I should have some time to get all this in the truck. 
Just need to fab up a bracket and some linkage for the dodge Ram charger Transfercase shifter
Everything needed for the trans except the fitting to fit the OG master.
New motor mounts coming as well.
Since I’m hitting all the mounts. I want to do the body mounts as well. What kit are you guys using?
used 1/2 an Energy suspension kit
1/2 a kit?
Thank you so much guys for voting me GMOTM. It really means a lot to me. it’s better than any car show trophy could ever give.
some how I missed this. yes Mostly the upper pucks and my old hardware. The kit I got as a clearance item, and I found out why. Missing some lower pucks and some were just plain wrong

I finally get a weekend to work on the truck this weekend. Let’s see how far I can get.
I have everything here for the swap. Was hoping to at least have the old 350 pulled last night but my wife had other plans for me. Today I’m going full bore on pulling the drivetrain out. Hoping to be driving it on the new drivetrain by Monday morning for work. Wish me luck and I’ll post lots of pics.

Came out east as slicing a cake. 
To paint the fire wall or not. I’m leaning towards who gives a crap I just want to drive the thing but then again when will I ever have this access again? Hahaha
Plan is to stuff the Ls in with the tH350 in place so I can get the motor mount spacing correct the first try.
