Had the 4l60e rebuilt with all the goodies and swapped out the 236 for a 213c manual shift from a 93 s-15. I made up some rock rails and swapped the 37's for 39.5's http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y15...6_770606_n.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y15..._2835975_n.jpg |
That is BEAST!!! What transfer case did you have to end up useing?
|
I used a 231c out of a 93 S-15 , I still need to put another tone ring on the output shaft so it will shift gears in 4lo but I'll get to that later.
|
One word, COOL!!!
|
Ok I'm not use to the numbers because I've never had to do anything big to my t-case
|
Seen most of this on the C.O.R.E. website. Coolness. Best story was trying it out with the welds only tacked and it falling down.
|
Hahahah ! sometimes I do so really stupid things .
|
Freaking AWESOME!!! What gears are you running? And another 4.3?
|
Thanks .
I'm running 4.10's for now ( sucks but .... ) I went with another 4.3 |
