Oh, I agree 100%...I thought he was looking for a power plant. Each generation has its high & low points. The 89-93...if a guy was going to do a diesel conversion then he'd really be making a mistake using a First Gen transmission. Then if you go to second gen, the engine & transmission are a 200% improvement in every area...except the transfercase.
For me...the best conversion is a 94-98 12 valve 5 speed 2wd. Simply because our trucks are divorced transfercase & what would the reason be to change that when the 2wd units are cheaper & the end result is a truck with far less bastardization. I mean of course a married t-case is a better setup but in my opinion...its as important to keep the underside as original as to keep the body & interior original.
The First gen chassis would be better if a guy was going to just bolt on a power wagon body but me thinks those are the worst & least valuable conversions.
That's my $.02 anyway & ive done lots of them.
