Happy to see that you finally got it on the road.
My 75-40 project has slow down a bit with the nice weather and having promissed the "boss" that I would finish the landscaping at the house this year. I'm hoping at getting back in the garage on week nights so that the project doesn't slow down to much. I need to pull the 700R4 off of the 6.2 so that I can start prepping the engine for the rebuild. I'm still debating if I want to go turbo or not.
Did you do any work to the engine before dropping it into the 80. Have you done any performance mods to it yet (turning up the IP). I would think the 80 weights more then the 40, so maybe a updated N/A 6.2 (sort of like Dr.Lee from the diesel page), a way to get good air in, headers and large exhaust would give a good engine for the 40... This is one of my main debates on this project right now...
Let us know how the long trip goes
