I have a pair of 85 ramcharger 1/2 ton axles that im looking to sell. I dont need them anymore. the are both 3.23 gears. the front is a dana 44 i believe and the rear is a 9 1/4. looking to get 200 for the pair. they will have to be local pickup. I live in Tucson Az. Thanks. Message me and I...

Oh ok cool. That helps a lot thanks

So I took apart my 3/4 ton axels that I'm going to put on my 79 w200. I'm putting 37s on it. They are 3.73 gears and I've read that I need 4.88s or 5.13s to make the truck run good. Is this true. What gears are anyone using. Oh yeah I have a mild built 318 so its no big power house. I just want...

So I took the 400 apart and there is slug from hell in it. It looks like someone put thick chocolate sauce everywhere. So I'm going to do a total rebuild and just keep my 318 in the truck for now till i can save up the money to do it right. I'm also scoring a rebuilt 360 for helping out a friend...

You are all right. I am very budged at the moment and took the engine apart. I looks really clean inside that I'm just going to put it in my truck how it is for now and save up for the parts. I did order the book because I need to learn more about big blocks and all the stuff You guys told me...

Wow that doesn't sound to hard. Yeah my friend has a 440 sitting in his yard. That sound pretty sweet. Thanks for the info. I have a good trusted machine shop too

well the transfer case isnt full time 4x4 and the axle im putting in is. So I would have to swap out the hubs to locking hubs

Ok cool. so bump pistons? or mill the heads. I could have a 440 that need to be rebuilt. What would I need or do to make it a stoker? Thanks for the info

also I was planning to put the 400 in with the tranny and transfer case. right now I have a rebuilt 318 in it right now with a np208. So I was thinking on not putting the front drive shaft on right now until I do that. I wonder how it will drive with 37s and just a 318. its mildly built so it...

So Im going to be swapping over 3/4 ton axels on to my w200. It now has 85 ramcharger drivetrain. it has manual locking hubs. My question is do I have to switch over the manual locking hubs on to my 3/4 ton axels from a 77 w200 that was full time 4x4 when I do the swap? if I don't would it burn...

I picked up a parts truck and it has a 400 big block. date coded 77. I got it fired up but it sounds like a warn lifter or spring. wont know till I take it apart. It came with a edulbrock performer, new edulbrock 1406 carb and some old headers that look like they were patched poorly at one time...

Ok thanks for the heads up

That's what I was thinking. Are they good axels though? I might sell them and keep my 1/2 axels because I don't do a lot of off-roading

That's a clean looking engine

Man that looks sweet. I love the orange
