Quote: with a 318 in that light of a vehicle I would go 904/999 all the way
I agree, but my only concern is the length of the transmission, and the ability to mate up to the NP231 t-case. I don't want the engine to have to be pushed to far forward in the engine compartment because of a long transmission. That's why I was thinking a 727 from a 4x4 dodge pickup would be the ticket. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong about it. This is my first 4x4 project, and I have a steep learning curve ahead of me. When I pull the tub off, I'll be able to start taking measurements. Anyone know the overall length of a 904 or 999 case? What vehicles did the 999 trans come in?
just build it with a 4x4 output shaft and tail housing and it will be shorter than a 4x4 727.
Thanks. Do you know who sells those kinds of parts?
should be able to get them used from any of the Trans parts suppliers Dacco,Transtar,WIT,maybe even John at CRT.
