Can't help much with a transmission choice, mines a ZF6 manual.
DSC or Destroked adapters are both good, Auto world makes some nice alternator brackets and such.
There's several conversions been done over on the other Cummins forum.
Good info on both here and there.
Thanks for the input. I have seen alot of your posts on other forums, you seem to have a good grip on these swaps. Seems I need to canvas the whole web for swap info and read, read, read.

I actually considering a 47RH for this swap since it would save approximately $2200 in adapters and controllers but I Dodge automatics behind modded 12v's have let me down more than once. Lost reverse once and overdrive the next time around. However it seems builders are only getting better and making them last. And, this is for a mild power level...anyone have a 100,000 mile warranty?

The 47RH also means no more electronic shift, driveshafts I'm sure, or tcase adapters
