i have a mud bogging toy with built stroker and a 175 shot of nos on it th350 trans. 529 front and rear gears locked and want to take out this motor and install a built 396 bb chevy but need some help with custom headers cause of the steering shaft. any help is welcomed.

 

something like this will have to fabricated just going on looks, post some pics up

 

Yea I fig will have to do some fab work and I will post up some pics later this eve. Also will have this 383 for sale when pull out

 

I'd run the 383 before the 396 any day. Your talking 13 cubic inches... 396 is a SMALL big block.

 

Yea but this bb is suposed to be even badder than what I have now we gona stick in there and see what it will do and if not better will switch back

 

Guys Im trying to dig thru all the form postings to gather some info. I just bought a 1991 4runner with the gutless 3.0 in it. I have a full roller fresh rebuild 350 bored 60 over from a project I just sold. The cam is very mild to stock and
I have my choice of a 1998 spider fuel injection system, 1993 throttle body, or carb set up. I will be running a 4l60e for the tranny a 431 transfer. I'm going to put a 3" body lift and beef up the suspension a little. I would like to know of any hang ups you ran into, drive shaft lengths(same as a 700R4)? Will shorty headers work or do I have to use the ones from A-adapters. I know i will have to use ladder bars or just build a 4 link. Main thing is the quick turn around from engine pull to 350 in a and running. i will have it running on my stand before putting it in so I'm mainly looking for the bolt up info and If I can get the drive shafts pre made that wopuld be great. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

[IMG][/IMG]i never got the bb to much work so doing some mods to small block

 

cant decide if i should pull trans out and install trans brake or not before i reinstall the motor just may install and see how it does without brake.

 

Trans brake? You drag racing it? trans brake....big tires...broken axles.

 

yea its built for racing in mud bogs

 

It might be easier to go full hydraulic on your steering. Hoses flex much easier than a steering rod.
