I have just read this thread, as I have a Dodge. The crankshaft is not the correct crankshaft. It only has four bolts to hold the flywheel on, and should have eight. The eight bolt crank is the T214/ T223 truck crank, with the counterweights to suit the sustained high revs. the four bolt crank is a car crank, and may not even be the right stroke.To perform well the truck needs the right crank.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, at this late stage.
