I say go for it, it will make an awesome bug out vehicle, toy , and wheeler. add a 4 inch suspension lift, new set of tires and you will have an awesome toy.
someone here might chime in , but I have always been told that bbc converters and diesel ones are the same, its the sbc you dont want...
I remember the civillian 350 gas model, it was featured in several magazines when it came out, but that was not a military version, it was civillian version with ac and all the bells and whistles.
If your going to all the trouble to put in a 6bt, you might as well change the tranny also. the military 5 speed isnt smoth shifting or up for more power
My latest edition of diesel power magazine lists eary hmmwv's as having a 400 cube gas motor, was this a prototype? was it the famous 400 chevy? or was this just a typo?
looks pretty easy, willing to try the shim method first, just looking for 300-500rpm more to make the tranny shift faster, it takes a while to reach high gear.

cannot find tm for the brakes anywhere, anyone have a link ? seems like every time I need a tm all i can find is something moronic like how to replace a heater hose.
dont even mention a allison 545. they are terrible trannys, they have no lock up, the converters are very inefficient, they just flat out suck. I had 3 of them and couldnt even get 100.00 for them! plus with a 1-1 final ratio, your better off keeping the th400 just beacause of size alone.
