Got my flywheel and pilot bearing on
I broke off a bolt for the thermostat housing and then broke of a cobalt drill bit in the broken off bolt, so now I have a carbide drill bit on the way but in the mean time I started scrubbing and painting parts

I have a pair of full width axles out of a 79 f150 is it worth the swap or would a Dana 35 and a 8.8 do the job? I like straight axle but for affordability and time wise the 35 would be simple also were can I get a cheap set of 4 inch lift springs

I picked up a '92 explorer donor for my '86 ext cab 4x4 ranger. dana 35's with the 8.8 rear. I have not started the project just yet, (replacing/rebuilding my '76 302, C4 combo in the '87 2wd after 148k miles at the moment) but you have a nice build and info happening.
