I seem to be having trouble with the search function +'s and all. Thanks, Scott Re: Gettin ready for my V8 Swap [Re: Pops1] #724222 05/17/06 03:20 PM Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 362 Crawling in Wyoming. 88SuperTrooper Mudrunner With the amount of room you get out those engine bays once you take almost everything out is alot, My Buddies and I have been thinking about something like this but we really didnt know what it is going to take. Another thing I thought about was the Drive Train itself, Is it going to hold up to all that torque? Im only Curious and cant wait to see how it turns out. 89'Isuzu Trooper LS 5 spd 2.6L 31" Big O X/T's 15x8 Eagle 058's K&N Filter w/ Air Box Mod 2.25" DynoMax SuperTurbo PolyUrathane/Indy4X Bushings Suspension/ FrontEnd Tech/Hunter Certified Alignment Tech.

The drive train I have selected is 700r4 auto, with toyo T cases, the original 12 bolt rear with some gearing, and a waggy front Dana.

I swapped in a Chevy 350 into my 82 Dodge D50 4x4 along with a Dana 44 front and Chevy 12 bolt rear. It is a LOT of work to get it to work right.
