Re: Rear End Question ...

Explorer 91-96 8.8. As long as you are going to replace it, do it right the first time.

Re: solid front axle swap

I have some pics of mine on myspace. http://www.myspace.com/general_fu Mine is running a Dana44 up front and a 9" Ford in the rear from an early Bronco. Other mods are 5.0 HO from a Mustang GT, NP435 4-speed, and an NP205 transfer case. I run 35" tires and the lift consists of 3.5" e...

Re: Need some tech advice plz

Forgot to add I have decided to save as many BII's from the top choppers as I can. Finished chops are nice but the random butchering has to stop! :D :rolleyes2: I picked up an '85, bad engine, no rust anywhere BII in Bonners Ferry for the princely sum of $100.00. Soon as it gets nice I'll go get it,...

Re: Need some tech advice plz

Yup, the 342 is a stock bore 347 stroker kit. This way I have enuff meat to rebuild the engine at least once. As soon as I get the roller paint job done I'll toss up a pic or two. The SAS rig is a bare frame and a ton of parts right now. I've already mocked up the suspension and drilled all the moun...

Re: Need some tech advice plz

I've got six right now. #1 342/c4/atlas 4.3 Great little setup but... the brakes can't hold this rig while in 4 low!! At idle!! Very exciting. It looks like I have a few choices here. Go with a new master cylinder from an F-350 van. Put a disc brake, (parking brake) on the transfercase output with a...

When you go to your local NAPA or what have you, and you buy the new module ask them for the tool needed for the install. They will hand you a plastic faucet handle shaped thing with a socket imbedded or a 5.5 MM socket head for 1/4 drive, either will work. They may let you borrow the tool or the se...

Did you drag your driveshft on the log? Bend it maybe? That would account for the vibes. Where is the clicking coming from? It's not unheard of to have new u-joints fail. When the joints were installed, did you make sure grease was pumped thru all of the trunions? Pretty common to have one or more t...
