5spd swap into a NON-4wd..

[81Chero]

I could've sworn that I posted about this before but didn't find it.

 

Truck is a '88 comanche and have a drive train from a '01 Dakota with of course, 2.5 BUT a 5spd.

Since they're both hydro clutches, what else would I need to do to swap them and have a 5spd for a little better mileage.

It gets around 22mpg but was hoping for closer to 25. I also have 245/60/16 tires on Grand Wagoneer rims for less 

revs per mile.

 

Back to the swap. Besides the rear trans mount what else?

Does anyone know what lengths of trans are between the 4spd and what looks like a NV3550.

 

thanks E
