This project is not dead although it spiraled way out of control (budget wise), I also had on one of those adjustable rate mortgage deals, so that sucked up some excess cash for a while.( I got that all straightened out, its actulay less now than before the adjustment) I got to the point where everything is mounted and front suspention was built. Its all back apart now to make some tweaks and go back at it. I also took a break to put heat and insulation in my garage so I can work on it over the winter. (The high for to day is 6 degrees it was -4 when I left for work!!)
I'm also still gathering parts. I just got my 160# injectors if that gives you an idea of the kind of power I'm after.

How can you run a 3.42:1 up front and a 3.55:1 in the diffs? Doesn't that fry the transfer case?

Not if the tire sizes account for the different ratios, i.e. the 3.55:1 axle has a taller tire than the 3.42:1 axle.

No sy/ty runs same tires and ratios. So much has changed since the beginning, and I may end running the same ratios front and rear. I don't like the idea of staggered tires so im working on another solution. I don't post much because until I have it nailed down its pointless.
