    715 engine swap

    I think it boils down to the price. Usually it can be easier to slap in an SBC for quick and not have a hassle with bolting any trans you can think of to it. The diesel's seem to be a little more pricey on the accessory costs especially on the transmission. 6BT and NV4500 is great, but you're...

    715 engine swap

    Yeah, but that's the cost of a good clutch set up...when you should be able to find one junk yard for $50 and not have well over three bills right there. Now you see... HA! :mrgreen:

    715 engine swap

    Ha! You sucker! roflYeah...the pics I took years ago! LOL! That also reminds me of what else M715 guys can do. Tim, you know this but for some others...that's an NP205 with the NP200's factory e-brake on it. The rear output housing uses different bearing between the two cases but with...

    715 engine swap

    Mine ran and worked very well in the M715 with the NV4500's decent OD and even with the stock deep axle gearing. One thing...this set up is tough to round up if you don't have donor parts and have to find them individually. A 6.2 manual flywheel isn't the easiest thing to find. The drive is...

    715 engine swap

    I put a 6.2 in an M715 with an NV4500 (Chevy 2wd style) then swapped out the NP200 for a Dodge fine spline NP205. 6.2 is slightly larger than a small block and not as big as the BBC. I have put all mentioned into M715's and they all fit well. I don't know what you're doing for engine...
