So I am planning to over haul my 89 ranger as soon as I get back from deployment and I have a large list of parts on order and a massive pile already sitting in my garage but one thing I cant make my mind up on is should I keep my 35ttb I have waiting or go to a 44ttb? so my plans for this truck is more of a go fast rig but I also hit the local trails and do some mild crawling.
So pretty much my question is I am using a LM7 (aka 5.3 Vortec) for the heart and a 9in rear axle but I'm not sure if I should go with a 35ttb or 44ttb. I'm wondering how much can the 35ttb handle if built correctly? I plan to push about 350-400hp with a mild build on the motor and 35s. Ill keep the diff open so that should help but should I step up to a 44ttb instead? Ether way it will be well built, cut&turned, chromo shafts, ect..ect....
So what is everyones opinions keep the 35ttb or get a 44ttb?
Thank you for the suggestions and please don't bash me for putting Chevy in a ford!
