[QUOTE="Jeepasaurusrex, post: 1510885, member: 15991"] [B]Now that I have my 82 back on the road/trail, my brain has shifted to building up my 42 GPW rock crawler. This is going to be basically a 2 seat buggy with a Flatty body on it. My first thoughts are what engine to use. I've been thinking about using a EFI 5.0 for power, the engine fits nicely under the hood. So do a 5.3/6.0 Chevy. I've already decided, no matter what motor, I'm going to use a manual valve body auto behind it. Then comes the transfercase. I kinda am set on using an Atlas, but I'm open to ideas. Which drop will be determined by what front axle I use. The front axle I have in mind is a full width Ford Dana HP60. But, if I come across a pass drop 60 front, then I may end up changing the T-case. That part of the build will be determined by what front I find. So, this is what I have been laying awake at night thinking about. What are your thoughts? :redneck::corn:[/B] [/QUOTE]
