hp 30 in cj7?
Posted: October 25th, 2016, 11:22 am
hey everyone as some of you know I am doing a frame up mild build on a 1980 cj7. The plan/what ive done right now is as follows:
4.6 poor mans stroker
ax15
stock dana 300 (with clocking ring)
ford 8.8 rear
yj springs
The only problem is my front axle width and bolt pattern wont match so ill have to run adapters and I cant go lower than 4.88 gears
sooo... my new evil plan is to get a hp dana 30 out of a yj. In my head this means I wont have to clock my tcase because the axle will be driverside drop tike the transmition,the width and bolt pattern will match my explorer 8.8, and from revalution gear I can get 5.13 gears for the yj axle.
so I'm wondering if I'm missing anything here it seems that if this worked I would be able to find it somewhere online but I cant . so thanks for any input
