Hey everyone,
Some of you may already know but I run a mini youtube channel and I am in the process of a pretty large engine job. It started as a transition from U-Joints to CV's but now its evolved (damn project creep) and I am 99% sure I will be swapping my big old remote box with a rod change box. Now before anyone says anything I KNOW the remote box is more solid and less rocky rocky. But with the box I have that uses that sandwich plate, the big old housing, and what I believe might be some crumby welding work on the floor the box has ALWAYS given me headaches in terms of fitment and engine position. This has led to constant annoying rattles, misalignment and collision of other parts and all around HEADACHE.
So what I have come to you guys for is guidance on the conversion process.
Current setup is:
- Pre-Verto Clutch
- Remote Gearbox
- 2.95 Final Drive
- U-Joint Outputs
Future Setup will be
- Pre-Verto Clutch (Keep current)
- Rod Change Gearbox (Purchased used from a friend here in the USA)
- 2.95 Final Drive (Keep current)
- New 4-pin Diff (thanks Paul Jeffries)
- CV Outputs
- New CV axles
Are there any special considerations I need to take into account for a conversion like this that you guys can think of?
