Did you have to cut down your front drive shaft if not what is your front drive shaft out of? If you did cut it do you remember the length

 

[Elutheros]

Yes I had it cut down. Used the worksheet from Denny's Driveshaft website to do the measuring and had it shortened to 28 3/8 inches. I also had to change the yoke on the front of the NP 205 to use the CV style yoke. I would recommend that you do your own measurements as the position of your engine will affect the required driveshaft length.

I still have yo get the yoke and yeah I planned on it I just wanted a ball park area, thanks allot

Finally broke down and put a better size tire (33x10.50x15) on the Fireball. What a difference! Bonus points because I had a white speedo gear laying around which makes my speedometer exactly correct. Looks a lot better too.

Having a v8 you don't notice they are on there either.

Looks great! I need to come check out your install. I am in Round Rock.

 

[Elutheros]

Are you still working on an engine conversion?

 

[Simkins12]

Yes sir. Truck is down right now with electrical issue but I am finishing up my research and hopefully pull the trigger on the engine & transmission soon.

nice build!

 

[Elutheros]

Thanks for the kind words.

Any updates?

3000+ miles on the engine--running sweet, 15MPG. I drive it to and from a ranch I hunt on every week, about 100 miles round trip. Would be better if it had A/C, but I don't feel like messing with it right now. It's been hauling rocks for yard projects and other than some minor RABS issues, I have no complaints.
