They make bolt on mounts for this app. But now I have a PROB. the wife doesn't like the Chevy colors. So I need some suggestions? HELP cuz when the captain aint happy aint nobody happy. THANKS

 

Looks nice!! Just tell her you will keep the hood closed. If it runs great, ain't no need to open the hood. right? If the heart is a Chevy, you gotta have something to show it a little bit.

 

a nice baby blue i dont think would be to bad ive seen that painted on stock long blocks and it looks great.

 

I would just ask my wife "How often are you going to open the hood and have to see the color of the motor?" and then she would probably just roll her eyes and walk away but deep down know that I am right....anyway my opinion is that it would be easier and cheaper just to put a TH350 or 400 behind that motor, have you seen the price of the adapters? And you don't want to be pulling the trans after a few hard launches and switching over anyway, also the rear end is going to need some attention sooner or later.

 

use one of the new tundra axles for the rear it might be a little wide though.

 

My thoughts were go bigger rearend just finding one to use without a whole lot of mods. going with a 4 speed chevy trans. like you said cheaper!!!!!

 

Staying with the chevy colors. thanks for the replies Keeping the hood SHUT!!!

 

Staying with the Chevy colors. Like ya said Keep the hood shut

 

Put in the 26mm bars now this is how she sets with th 22RE we will see just how far she drops!

 

What are the specs on the motor(besides 400 chevy v8)? I woulda kept it toyota but oh well........ your definetly gonna need to upgrade that rear axle, your trans should live unless your motor is a torque monster or you are hard on the launches.

 

That's gunna be a helluva ride!! you'll rippin through deserts like none else

Hey if you want a tip, it makes it even better for us if you use photobucket or something and post the pics so theyre full size

rear should be fine. i had a 383 in my old runner with a factory 8 in. diff. the tranny went first and was rollin 36 wampers

 

Ive only got 32s dont really think I need to go bigger. I use this truck to chase coyote's though the desert.

 

by coyotes do you mean the little canines or the human smugglers

 

The 4 legged kind There faster and more fun to watch especially at night!!!

 

how much hp and torque does your motor make or going to make. the torque is the parts killer. how much power can a stock tranny and rear end handle? i know you are using a chev tranny , what about v6 third they are a little stronger.

 

I agree with Blake, you should be fine with your rear end for what you are using it for. If you're using it in the sand, your tires are going to spin before you snap an axle. If you were using it on the rocks, well, that would be a different story.

I had a 383 stroker motor in a jeep with a stock AMC 20. IMO, the AMC 20 is a lot weaker than the yota axles. It had 36" super swampers and I bogged with it for a season before selling it. It's all in how you apply the torque of that 400.

Thats what Im talkin about you hit the nail on the head. Looking at a 4runner rear axle
and pos. a chevy S10 blazer. any thoughts on that????

 

Your rear axle should be fine in my opinion.
