I run 33's with 3.50 tires and mines got plently of umph. 2700 rpm at 75mph and 16.5 mpg. Although he may need the gearing with a 360hp engine especailly if its a 302. Thats a high in the HP for a 302 probably has very little low end. My 71 has 31's and 4.11's and while it does move it doesnt move like my 73 does. Of course the 71 is completely stock.

A built one involves another axle and when done building it they have to ship it to you. It would be hard to get a built D44 cheaper then putting good parts into your existing axle.

Here's a harness on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...Q5fAccessories

Would you be linking the Bronco then, or would you be needing some "C's" for the radius arms? If you swapped the tubes on your existing setup, wouldn't you also need to remove all of the existing link and coil brackets and re-orient them for the other side? Paul

If you buy one your paying for parts PLUS someone else's labor. So what do you suppose would be cheaper?

On my '83 Bronco, my '94 CV, & Frank's '75 eB, I used all that stuff straight out of the JY; on the '95 engine in the '83, the injectors were gummed shut, and I had to heat them using their own coils to get them open the first time. They've all run fine for many years.

maybe something like this would work to raise my upper intake and make room for that hydroboost output? or i could replace the 3" body lift with a 2" body lift

Caps Lock...... Which is better, a np435 or a C6? Which is better Vanilla or chocolate? It all depends on your personal preference. I like manual trans better for dirt and street, but I think that the general consensus is that for rock crawling, you'll be better off with an automatic. Do what you think works best for you. Dana 20 will be the weak point of the drivetrain no matter what trans you use. NP205 can't easily be regeared to...
