i finally ordered my cummins for my mud truck today (out of a 95 fl70). the next thing i need to figure out what i should do is pick my new tranny to use. right now i have three choices that i want to go with. first i could use the stock 47re that i have but don't really want to because i really need a 2wd trans. second i could have a 727 built up to take it (which i have a stock one laying around) or go with a gm 400 turbo that i could build up also. i have access to plenty of those and most of my club buddies run them also so it owuld make it more conveinent to use however i would have to find an adapter to bolt it up. i would just through a nv5600 in it but just wouldn't work to well for my driving style. btw i'm looking at around 500hp at the crank just for starters. also doing a leaf spring conversion on it with a divorced np205 transfer case. should be able to fit my 48x31x20 on the rear and a little skinnier 48's on the front. if someone can alos tell me how to post pics i'll finally get the shots of my truck on here.

 

crap photos too big[:@]

 

at 500hp, the turbo 400 and the 727 will melt from the torque. your best bet is going to be to use the 47re and have it built up a bit to handle the power, then all you need to do is get the tranny tail from a 2wd junk truck and put that on the 47RE so you can have your divorced t-case.
