4x4 North

Well I almost bought a jeep today. I think that marks a low point in my life and it was the kick in the ass I needed to pull wrenches on the dak again. Ive been waiting on parts for my engine which i will be swapping into the red truck so i have been in limbo for awhile. The cobras now under cover so i woke up and decided to make progress. Im not sure how much lift i will need in the back so im starting with 4" shackle flip and will add a zero rate from there if i need to. I pulled the 56" stock springs out in favor of my old 52s to gain some departure angle and maybe a stronger pack.

should have just bought the jeep

That.

Nice to see you working on it again So the motor you were originally building for this is now going into your red shortbox? Did I read that right?

so that means big block and auto trans now

LS?

I keep tossing the idea of running the bigblock auto around but i know what my truck feels like with 44s and I really want more gearing. Im not 100% on what im going to do yet. The plan was to do the chinese fire drill with the red trucks motor and trans

After a little bit of reading the blackbox titan is actualy looking good. I think it will only move my t case back an inch if anything at all. That would keep me from screwing around with a 2 piece driveline for the front... hmmm

just sayin

That Hemi looks like a solid option as there is no belts on the front to throw

Hate you guys

Lats a low deck 400 b block. The engine mounts are different. I will probably pull the cab off this weekend and do some more mock up and see if ots all going to actualy fit.

You got tons of room, anything will fit.

I vote Duramax.

Durkota would make even more sense hahaha

Emailed nwf and it looks like i have to machine my 205 case to run the 90mm input bearing. Super annoying as i just rebuilt that case with new seals and bearings and redloctite on all the yoke nuts...
