What are you planning for the rest of the drivetrain to handle the 6 liter's power?

Well, on divorced teacher salary it's not easy - verrrrrrry slow! Actually, I have about 5,000 in the jeep and engine/tranny with only 29,000 miles on it, so I figure I'm ahead of the game in my book.
I'm using the NP231 with a SYE, and stock D35/D30s with 4:10 gearing for now. (Nobody can quite agree on what gears would be best for highway/beach and occasional trek to the river!) Keep in mind I'm not crawling or racing; this is just a project for me to learn something about mechanics, and I'll take it with the right company to the beach or down to the river with the dog. So I won't be horsing it. I plan to put in a Ford 8.8 as soon as I find one that's reasonable. With 7" flares, 4" susp. lift and 1" bl, I'll add 35's and be good to go!
