I was already leaning towards the 6bt, Looks like thats the direction ill go. If I stay 97 and older I can get away without the smog for diesels. Although I have a friends who will make me a great deal on a motor and tranny including harness etc out of a wrecked 2005 ram 3500. Any thoughts on that year cummins? Im pretty familiart with the diesels up to about 2000.

I think all the 12v's are non computer as far as the engine is concerned...it may have input from various sensors, but the engine will run without them from what I understand....98.5 24v's start having more electronics for engine management and have greater increase in power output.
Russell can make any swap sound easy, me not so much...Im going to have my hands full with the 98 12v and 47re....If your confident in your electronics I would go with the 24v!
The 2005 engine is still a great engine and while the install may be a little more complicated I think the end result will be better. They do not care about cold hardly at all with starting or driving. Also with just a programmer you could be over the 500 horse mark.
