Full Foot Notch, Version 3, Rockwells and more

[RockRanger]

I understand that. My old ranger i ran two blocks stacked on top of each other and never had a problem. I hope you dont think I am bashing your setup. It seams like the place doing the work is doing a great job and they know what works and what doesnt. Now hurry up andgo get that thing Muddy

well its one of those, i am running full size rancho bars that are pretty much ladder bars, no shackles in em so they cannot move

my bottom lip just hit the floor again. im in love lol

my thing with swapping in an engine, is that i want to do a 302 350 or 351, and keep A/C (FL gets f'in hot) and no body lift, so it seems a 302 mayyyybe a 350, but i want to go a basic carb'd setup for easy and reliability, its a mud truck so no weird truck angles like yall rock guys, and right now the truck is a 5spd, but figure if i can get a built auto, then its a lot easier to drive. but ive been reading the "so you want ot put a 302" thread and it seems everyone is going FI, but i dont want to, plus ive been reading a contradiction that you cannot run ac, or that it will just barely barely clear the box, and that im gonna have to run a body lift, but if i dont its going to be a tight fit

also, so far L&L mounts are good ones to use, or which one is everyone using with good results now and later on down the road

for some sadistic reason in the back of my mind, im thinkin bout making the transport tire setup a dually rear setup, i tihnk it would look awesome driving around town

Fuel inject it. No reason not to. It's too easy now-a-days.

 

[full foot notch]

yeah, but if i go deep water like lakeland, i dont need the computer fryin on me leavin me stuck in the middle of what is essentially a lake

 

[full foot notch]

Is it the camera angle or is it sitting more to the left of the axles?

 

[full foot notch]

its the camera, i was resting it on the steeringwheel

 

[EMG7895]

The pass. side wheels are on backwards.

 

[full foot notch]

the front one is, the driver side is turned in like a dually, the other one was accidentally put on backwards and we did not change it back yet

 

[FROADER]

Ok that's what it is, the wheels.

 

[full foot notch]

yay, now comes the fun part of rebuilding these axles

 

[EMG7895]

Are you going to shave the bottoms?

 

[full foot notch]

its a mud truck, no need to, plus leaving the stock bottom on there allows for more fluid capacity so that it gets the proper lubrication and cooling properties

 

[Burns]

u almost need something bigger to get it home

 

[RockRanger]

What are you going to do about the front driveshaft? Pinion is on the passangerside and the tcase is on the driverside. If I ever make it to flordia I want a ride

 

[full foot notch]

Burns, next to a semi trailer, they dont make anything bigger, that is the triple axle trailer that "mega" gets moved around on, i only had the time window of 11am to 3pm to get this thing moved since chuck had dropped off mega for one of the local redneck bar tugowars and the trailer was open for use, $50 and 20beer money later, the truck was moved

rockranger, till it either gets a new tranny and i can install the transfer case, or get a fuel cell to fit the second Tcase, OR what i had planned was to do a bigger motor/2wd tranny, and then with the M37 case, it will all be a "chevyside" drop, and will work, at which point there will be only a few explorer things left on the truck
