    Getting serious about engine swap

    Getting serious about engine swap

    I think your right about the transmissions you looking at. I don’t know that they would hold up with your hemi. My rear end is a Ford 8.8 with 4:10 gears and limited slip. It was my last project. We welded the tubes to get ready for the engine swap

All new steering. New front and rear fishbone off-road bumpers with winch. And one of my favorite mods...

    ok, i will take a look. I did upgrade the gears to 4:10 with limited slip in the rear end. obviously will have to match the front end. What did the hp 30 come with as a gear set?

    Finished my rear axle, and looking for recommendations to replace the front end.

    it currently is a 30, what i built is a ford 8.8 with the barns offroad truss kit. which was an amazing product. we welded the tubes and im feeling my 30 is not a total weak point. my goal is to beef up the drive train entirely before i drop an engine in. am i ignorant to the difference...
