Ok wanted to update this a bit. I have a thread in tech about the motor I am building but wanted to add the progress to this link.
Decided to build a 427 stroker motor for the truck. As all projects it has pretty much totally gotten out of hand. Here are the specs.
Dart block, Ohio crankshaft rotating assembly, JE forged pistons, H bean rods, forged crank. 10-1 compression. AFR 205 Renegade heads, Comp Cams solid roller with roller rockers and stud girdle. Edelbrock Super Victor EFI intake, Accufab throttle bdy. Still deciding on ECU, probably either Holley HP or MS3Pro. Probably 8 coil system. Mad Dog 1 3/4" headers.
Well while I was changing motors I decided I needed to take the body off and paint the frame and some other stuff. Getting close now to putting it back together. Still some more details to go over.
Looking at the transfer case. I will probably not be doing hard crawling. Thinking about changing to a Atlas but what about just updating the output shaft on the Dana 20 with a HD one from Wild Horses. Think it would be OK or just break other parts of the D20. Also need a new rear drive shaft. Should I keep 1310 or upgrade to ? Maybe 1350?
