I am having so many problems with my v8 swap and my 4wd. My oil pan still is sitting right on the differential. The front driveshaft is tearing up my oil filter. I was thinking about just converting it to 2wd and calling it good. I already have the 2wd output shaft and tailhousing, I have someone that can make me a new driveshaft. I will have to tear apart the front axles to keep the outboard shaft. Then I might even throw on a set of coilovers and get rid of my torsion bars.
I just don't know what to do. I like the 4wd, but it is ending up being a hassle.

If anybody has any input, I would love to hear it.

 

id say if u dont use the 4wd much just get rid of it lol or we could just trade ur 4wd blazer for my 2wd id love to have a 4wd way up here in the northwoods lol im lucky if i dont get stuck in the parking lot during the winter

 

I'd use an oil filter relocation kit and cut the oil pan up and weld it back together. I'd hate to lose the functionality...

 

A buddy of mine does 4wd to 2wd conversions onall his v8 S10 blazers, the 4wd model has a stronger frame making it better for conversions. Go for it! [8D]

 

After thinking about it and weighing the consequences and price, I am going to keep my 4wd. I am pulling the motor right now and will probably start on cutting the oil pan tomorrow. I am also going to replace the leaking rear main seal too. I've got an oil filter relocator, but need more hose to use it. I can't find 1\2 oil hose for under $6 a foot.

 

SFA would give you more room
