Well, the motor came in today! but no tranny, Ecu and a damage Coil Pack... I gave Kelly @ CDI Racing and he said no problem! He said the Tranny is going to be here tomorrow! He is going to next day me the A/C Compress, Coil Pack, and ECU! I will post pics tomorrow when the Tranny Arrives.. Also, I am debating on transforming my Chevy NP231 to a Box4Rox and use my stock NP231? Im worried that my 3 planetary gear will be the weak link?

Why would you need a 609 to drive on the street? The HP30 will handle 47 inch tires for your application.
Shoot, an HP30 is extremely tough. As long as you don't use reverse... ;D

ricky has a point. he has a v8 and 231. should be about the same.

318, 44RE, 241(4:1), and over 6000lbs. Broken 5 stock XJ axles, one ring and pinion, and one ARB. R&P and ARB was while in reverse. Running stock TJ shafts now and have had no issues.

241 has the same (2.72) low as 231. that's why I used you as a comparo. with appx same low and hp, his front should live on the street.
