1987 Dodge B250 Van wagon 318ci - TRANS

Hi ,
I'm going to purchase a 1987 Dodge B250 Van wagon 318ci.Have the original Automatic 3 speeds.
I would to know if it is possible to install a more modern trans with 4 speeds or an overdrive ? More confortable on highway speed and better MPG ?
All the reviews will be interesting to read.
Thank you !

Could probably put a 46RH in there, but, you would need a shorter driveshaft. Also would need to provide a means to activate o/d..... which you can do with a couple switches.

Hi Hey you, thank a lot for your help answer. The B250 i’m Going to buy is located at 50miles from an other 1996 Dodge Ram van conversion and the owner selling this conversion for parts. He offering the trans with 117K miles. In 1996 it’s can be the trans you talking about . . .
So, I call and leave a message and also by text but no news since yesterday.
I’m also on search for a back bench seat going to be a bed

Do you know where we can find the spare parts catalog for the 1987 B250 Van Wagon ?
