My 292 has plenty of power, specs are in my sign. I really wish that I could have got a ring and pinion 3.07 in my rear before I come up to college, but thats life. A 5 speed would be idea cause I would retain the 4th for really big loads. I would say it would pull almost anything in 4th. The i6 design is really good. Why do you think that cummins is able to get 560 ft/lbs. at 1400 rpm. Thats the kind of torque these things put out. Maybe 450 from a 292 if you do it extreme. Thats why im wanting to build a jeep with a cummins 12 valve, 5 speed and transfer case from a 90 dodge. of course it will get a tune up and garennted it will climb any mountain you through at it.
