Rebuilt the 91 again, this time on 40s - Page 2

5k what? RPMs? holy crap....

farmer · 06-12-2012, 06:10 PM

Yes. Those 40s are pretty spanked though so I'm still not worried

The 4.88's probably help a ton. But that would be a nice set up with a diesel. It's just money right? But I was thinking about running a divorced case for a while it helps with driveline angles and stuff. But the way my chassis is set up it would be a big pain. One minor thing to take into consideration is that your gas tank will most likely be in the way. But you could always shorten it or put a fuel cell in. Or if you really are trying to save money just throw the tank in the bed. But that's just 1 of many things to consider.

I'm pretty sure I can squeeze it in. A sm465 is pretty damn short, and if I use the outer piece from a cv joint with the inner cv pieces and just 2 u joints, it makes for a perfect short driveshaft.
I found a set of fender well dump headers the other day for $40 from a80s dually Ranger show truck that had a 350 in it. Was on Craigslist forever and didn't move so hes in the process of junking it

With a sm465 you may be able to. Those are short. I guess measuring will tell for sure. I was going off a zf5's length witch is a decent amount longer. I should of asked what tranny you were going to use. I think the shortest I was going to be able to make an intermediate shaft was like 9in. But if you're starting from scratch it shouldn't be too hard to make everything fit.

Yeah one of my divorced cases came with all 3 driveshafts, and my axles came with driveshafts for a mated case. I have plenty of options and material haha

You should have swapped te 2.9 for a 5 horse Briggs if you want the d35 to live.

I've been up to the rockers in mud already and it didn't hurt it any. And like I said, I'm not too worried if it breaks
