Done two engine swaps, both of with chevy v-8 and OD automatics into jeep vehicles.

Figured gearing was ultra critical due to limited revs available. Although with that much torque available, the lower end even with taller gears would (I guess) be pretty impressive.

I have had diesels in an old chevy truck, non turbo 6.2 and an Isuzu. both suffered from lack of turbo and torque. The turbo'd 4 bt seems not to have that problem.
