Yes 2wd would be much easier. So far I have the radiator in and the top hose on, I have to remove the ac condeser to give me room for an electric fan, and I have to find/make a lower radiator hose .

 

Did you use the 5.3's radiator? And where you able to get it in there with out having to cut the core support. I know that a little more room can be made if the core support is cut abit.

 

I am using the stock radiator

 

any updates?

 

No not yet. I had some unexpected bills to pay, but I have taken care of that and should be making some progress in the next few weeks.

 

I pick up the front end saturday. It is a 76 wagoneer dana 44 with flat top knuckles for $150.

 

Props dood. It's nice opening up a thread and not just seeing someone just TALKING about it, but actually DOING it.

 

I picked up the axle today. I had heard they were 58 inches wide but this one is 61.5" which is perfect for what I needed. Has anyone done a sas with a wagoneer axle and left it spring under axle? I am thinking about using 5" HD springs, for the v8, SUA and 63" chevys in the rear. I dont know if this will work or it will be level but that is what I am thinking right this second.

 

I just ordered the front springs. I ended up getting the all pro 4". Maybe by the end of th month I will have the front done so I can finalize the engine placement.

 

you'll need 60's and the swap has been done....I can't remember where I saw it but it's out there

 

I cant afford 60's. If I break then I will upgrade but for now I am using 44's.

 

Looks good, why not switch intakes like the one in the gto and gain some clearance?

 

Because I would have to change all of the accesories and I would lose some toque.

 

I finished the spring over today. The leaf springs should be here this week but since allpro decided to add an extra $100 to my order it will be a few weeks before I can get the spring hanger kit.

 

Ordered the sky full width kit today. I should be making some progress soon.

 

Kudos blazerboy72! Awesome work!

 

I am still waiting on parts to come in. I have ordered a set of 63" chevies, spring hangers for the front and rear, and shackles for the rear. I bought the 63's off of fullsizechevy.com for $50 shipped if anyone else is looking for some.

 

Ordered the body lift today. I couldnt find any way to clear the transmission with out one. I guess my plan for 33's just went out the window.

 

I put the body lift on today. It looks like the transmission will fit with room to spare.

 

Finally got the front axle in and the body lift on. I bolted on one of my 38's from my blazer just to see what size tires I need to be looking for. Now its time to start on the rear.
