Been over to 4BTswaps and read a lot about these motors. I understand the numbers on paper and capabilities of both. What I need is if anybody has real world working knowledge of both. What are some differences/similarities in terms of install, maintenance, aesthetics, etc. I do not have to worry about emissions for the diesel motors.
Going to do a diesel swap into a 62 series and have a 3B/H55 combo in the garage ready to go. Most say the 3B is underpowered, so before I do it wanted to do one last research thread. Like the idea of a cummins for parts availability in the states, but don't know the everyday enjoyment of either(3.3 vs 3.9) motor.
My off roading consists of some logging roads and dirt desert tracks. No major obstacles other than the occasional long, steep hill. Other than that it would be a DD 9 months out of the year. Would like the NV5600(6 speed?) behind it if possible for long trips from Texas to anywhere pulling a light trailer. Summer is coming and I can hear the wrenches turning.
