Tranny question.

a guy just called me and has a good looking and drivin 1993 dakota with the v6 in it, but hes taking the engine out and offered me the truck, its 4x4 and has a stick tranny, so what are the odds that tranny will run for a while? im not sure what tranny it is, but the truck is free, compared to spendin money on the tranny.... would it be worth it to swap the engine???
yea i have a v8, but i figured id still just get the truck and end up buyin a nv3500 and switch them the tranny in when i get it and do the engine swap.
i will have all three versions of the dakotas then lol. but my v8s got a chopped frame, my 4 cyl doesnt have an engine. so i figure ill get rid of the 4 cyl, get the one the guy offered me and right now im just goin with the 727 and drive the truck. thanks for all you help.

And, since you won't have any money in the above project, you could always get the 727 as a backup just in case the ax-15 goes out before you can find an nv3500. Then you could sell the 727 when you find the nv3500 and decide you don't need it.
What do you mean by chopped frame?

re
i just got the v6 truck towed out here. im just going to put it aside for now and slowly work on it buildin the drive and runnin gear. i plan on ending up puttin a built up 360 in it. for now i am gettin the 727 and put it in my v8. quickest route i think considerin i dont have too much money, and i dont have all the means for the engine swap off hand. still very muddy around lol. and by the frame being chopped, is that when i got it i looked under it and it had about 3 inches missin out of the rear fram and a peice of 3/4 square stock tubin welded in place....very poorly...and with a bigger shock on oneside lol. Being what it is, i didnt pay very much for the truck. but the engine is a freshly and trusted rebuild.
