    NV4500 swap.

    Novak Adapters has quite an extensive knowledge base regarding common transmissions, transfer cases and engines on their site. It's biased towards 4WD vehicles, but 2WD is pretty much the same but simpler. Novak Conversions :: Manual

    1987 Dodge Dakota 5.9 swap with a NV3500

    They also used the AX15 behind the 5.2 and later 3.9 plus the 4.7. The NV3500 and AX15 will bolt in place of each other and there's really no advantage to one over the other. They would both live fine behind the 5.2 but I wouldn't expect either one to put up with a lot of abuse behind a stout 360.
