Thx for replying Tommy , but I found the motor combo about a month ago I'm going to use. Thx again.

Thanks for the offer but I'm also looking for a sbc 350. I've been looking for a few weeks now. Haven't found the right deal yet. Are you going to go w a fuel injected set up?:?:

Wow that's a lot to take in. Don't get me wrong it's very helpful and informative. Thanks for the info. Looks like I need to do some more research.

I agree I passed on both the 305 & the 700trans. After doing more research at Novak I didn't realize the mods involved w/using a 2wd trans for a 4x4. I have a line on a 700trans out of a 92 chevy 4x4 at the local auto yard for $550 w/ a 30 day warranty. He says it has around 80,000 on it. It's...

After reading some responses and doing some more research I agree with that. Thanks

Just wondering if a chevy 305/700r4 trans out of a camero is a good swap for my cj7 build. not sure on the year yet he claims it's post 85 but I need to get some numbers off it and try to confirm the year. Motor is fuel injected and he said they have around 80,000 miles on it. He's asking $500...

Hey guys, just came across a sbc 305 w/ a 700 trans. from a guy i work with Motor is fuel inj and includes all of the wiring needed. He claims it has 80,000 miles on it. He wants 500$ for both. What do you guys think. I've checked out Novak and it's one of their recomended trans. But they did...

I have the i4 w/t4 trans in my 1985 now. But, according to the bill of material stamp on the d30 axle tube it's not a 4.10 gear. I found a website that you can trace that number and it shows what gear was in that axle. According to that site it was a 3.5? something. Sorry can't remember the...

Just an update. I picked up my ford 8.8 today. It had the 4.10 gear and limited slip. Unfortunately I'll have to change the front Dana 30 gear to the 4.10 but 1 gear is better then having to change both. Now I'm on the hunt for the motor and trans. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to...

I know it was a silly question. Thanks for answering anyways. I'm on the hunt right now for my ford 8.8. I let u guys know as soon as I get. Thanks again ;)

Tool and die maker/ machinery. Sorry I piggy backed on someone elses post before. New at posting. Getting the hang of it.

Thanks for the info. Very helpful. This may sound like a silly question but, do I need to run the same gear in the front axle as in the rear axle? Sorry if this sounds like a elementary question but, I'm a little new to this type of swap. I plan on getting my ford 8.8 w/in the next week and...

I believe you'll get around 4-4-1/2" of lift w/a soa. Any thoughts on my axle kit upgrade/gear question?

Yeah I read up on the super 8.8 kit seems like a fair price. Plus it adds width. If I run a 4.1 gear now and upgrade to the super 8.8, can I chg the gears later w/out affecting the new axle shafts? I'm def leaning toward 38" tires how much lift will I need? Will soa give me enough for that size...

I would check eBay or craigslist. I've seen mechanic manuals on there before. Good luck.
