I have a stock 1984 CJ7 that I am beginning to build and I have the option to buy a Dana 44 from 76 chevy non flat top knuckle and 14 bolt FF from 78 chevy. They are both complete and I believe are both 4.10's and 8 lug for only $200.
I am planning to do the 4.0 head and fuel injection swap on my AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l in the next few weeks (getting the whole thing for free). I am running 33/12.5/15 Dirt Grip tires and have no lift at this point (did the TJ rubicon flares front and back). I need to switch my rims anyway so that is not a big issue.
I have a a904 Auto Transmission and a T-5 that I can use.
I also have a 300 Transfer Case .
So knowing all this how would you mix and match this or add other things to make a overall good driver and trail rig.
What should I be concerned about?
Anyone's opinion is appreciated.
