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.

Yeah I've heard the same thing. One down fall w/ the 20 I've read are the thin tubes and the tubes spinning in the diff. Have you heard anything on the 8.8? I've read they are actually stronger then the 44s.

Sounds like the perfect set up. I was planing on keeping the d30 frt and throwing in a ford 8.8 in the rear. Was getting mixed opinions on the size of tires I could use w/this set up, but if your running 38s I think after a chromoly axle upgrades for both axles w/4.10 gears would work. What do u...

What gear set up and what/how much offloading do u do?

60s out of what? What years? Full width?
