Probably not going to go for it, i don't love the 465 ratios, nor the shift tower, nor the weight, and i think a NV3500C / NP241 would be better. If you divide my current 2.73 by the 3500's 0.73, you get 3.74. 6.55 x 1.95 x 2.73 = 34.91:1, while 4.02 x 2.72 x 3.73 = 40.73:1, plus a better...

Found a mated 465/205 combo for $250

I can do them in the vehicle, the few i have done for friends i got $100 each.

I have the tools, but you may be money ahead to do an upgrade to a beefier assembly that already has the ratio you want. If you have a K1500, for example, probably with 3.42:1 gears, then it is the weak 8.62" 10-bolt, and not worth wasting money on, especially since the same money will get you a...

Oh come on, you got my hopes up, there's nothing wrong with my 454, it's the hard to find 96-00 Vortec version with the good heads and the roller lifters, let's make this trade happen.

Nothing, it's the only thing i own of any value that might interest off-roaders. I decided i want my s10 to be 4wd more than i want a 900 horsepower Camaro. Last night i bolted a steel 15x7 off a 97 S10 onto my redrilled Explorer axle, already fitted with a 235/75 that needs replaced, but i...

Change of plans, because of a change in my wages. I was shopping online for some more aggressive tires to go on steel 15x7s for my Explorer axle, and i happened across something i had to laugh at. I found some 31x10.50 A/Ts that look decent, but in neat white letters, proclaim: DUCK...

Even trying to climb out of Providence canyon, i havent yet seen any place where 1 ton axles would make me too wide to get through, so if I can't find an '86-'91 F350 front 60, then I'll use a corporate 8.5 from a K20. Dunno if all this will increase drag to the point that a 4.10 gear would...

So i started trying to figure the crawl ratios, did a lot of rEsearch, and for tires near 30", and a manual transmission, a crawl ratio of 60:1 should be about 18" per second. This puts 90:1 near 12" per second, and 120:1 around 9" per second. So the crawl ratios in those other threads need to...

Definitely! So the ZF S5-42 came with a BW1356 transfer case, 2.69: low, chain drive, big Bronco versions have a fixed rear yoke, aluminum case, fairly strong, much lighter than an NP205, readily available, but not as good as the NP271 alternative, which is relatively rare. Gotta build a...

Also, found a new set of Chinese 265/75R16s for $350 including tax. All 3 axles under consideration can be had with gears down to 5.38

Ok, been rEsearching buying a YJ, the cheapest one i found is $2500, most of them are over $4k. Sk the question is, can i convert my S-10 for under $2500? I can. I have the tools, talent, and time, the local automotive salvage yards have the parts and prices. Including core charges but not...

I was cruising around up there this morning in my AWD 03 Astro, could see Morgan but no road, once home tried Google maps, not much. Can't be any private property, that's all Forest Service lands. I know it's been hiked, and they didn't get shot nor sued nor arrested, so no worries about...

Anyone know any way to drive over the ridge?

So i have been researching this old idea, backing a 465 with a second one, run backwards. That 1.70:1 gear would make a 0.59:1 Mating the tails of a pair of 2wd 465s is simple. The challenge is getting the input of the rear one to run a driveshaft. But Spicer makes a yoke that fits on the...

Already removed from donor, making the job that much easier. From 76 C20, has 4.10 gears, complete except the open diff. Asking $100 cash, in Smithfield, UT.

Minor details that may yet get changed, so we may as well enjoy the show while waiting to see how it ends up. You're going much the same way as my 86 Camaro, just a different chassis, as i never was one for a stealth fighter, like a thousand-horsepower grandma car. It makes people and cops...

Here you should be seeing pics of my LSx head porting, only your forum has no clicky to manage attachments.

I second that, I totally agree with that last post. Your work looks good, but since hp is an addiction, you may as well just start with a thousand horse turbo v8 in a capable chassis, which is exactly what I finally started doing. Finish this one, use it to showcase your skills, and make...

Doesn't seem so easy, ksl is full, all day every day, of dozens of Cherokees for well under $1000, that's how I got mine for $350. At the time, it needed only a starter solenoid. But for the same or less money than buying and building a soft top Wrangler, I can build a hard top S-10. The...
