Here we go guys, I am just now getting into my new build up good. This is what it looked like before. [Linked Image] [Linked Image]
I am going to have a Vortech 4.3 mated to a 350 tranny. I have the 4l60e trany that came with it however I just dont want to have to deal with the computer tranny. Plus it would cost me way to much to mount the t-cases behind that tranny. My transfer case is going to be a 203/300 doubler.Here are a few pictures of the motor, trany and t-case.

Now for the good news. I have been looking for some axles for awhile now. I already have the dana 44, but I wanted to do this once and be done with it. Sooooo I found these the other week. [Linked Image] [Linked Image] [Linked Image] [Linked Image]
Yeap that there is a set of 1 tons. The rear 14 bolt has a detroit in it already. So all I need to do is gear that one. The front 60 will need to be spooled and geared.

Ok here is where I am at now. The chassie is stripe down and is ready to go to the sandblaster. I am going to be taking the axles off the trailer tomorow night and stripe them down and get them ready for the sandblaster aswell. I have got it set up to be blasted next saturday. Then I will bring them back to the shop to prime them up.

I have order my rebuild kit for the dana 300 and as soon as it comes I will rebuild that. I also wanted to rebuild the 203 but for the price of the rebuild kit and seeing as I am only going to use the reduction box I chose not to buy the kit. Instead I will cheak it out real good and just order the front seal and any other parts it might need.

I know it has not been much done on my part to this trooper but I have spent most of my time the last month or so on them flairs. Which I will be updateing that thread in a little while.
