I'm not even thinking twice about he suspension being able to hold it, I have no worries at all and as for the rearend, I have the corporate 14bolt with 3.73's and a locker, Absolutely no problem holding up to a Cummins IMO

No more pics yet, space is even tighter now that my brother got the ambition to stick his old sunfire in there to work on...Haven't had much more time to work on it anyway between working late and responding to fire/medical calls, plus the usual eating and sleeping.. hopefully it will be done soon enough



Also, I have a lead on 17" chrome Hummer H2 rims for cheap, you think they would look half decent? I need new rims anyway, 2 are out of round and 1 is cracked...

I think they'll look nice on there. No center caps and some nice chrome lug nuts. Maybe paint them black....

BTW the Dana 24 is just as stong as the NP205, it also has a cast case and gear to gear drive. The only downside is production numbers, there weren't too many made and now parts are getting scarse...
yep, soon as i get a minute i'll be glad to

I have no idea what you just said... Anyhoo...

Update: Electrical is getting done, slowly but surely. Still waiting on my intercooler, thermostat housing and alternator brackets.

Stacks are just about mounted (pics afterwards), Gauges are just about mounted and all drivetrain mounts are done.

Still trying to figure out if the H2 rims I bought will fit, They were only $100 and in almost perfect cond. I thought I could unload them on someone for at least twice that so I bought them regardless if they work for me or not. They are a 9" wide rim with 5 1/2" backspacing...It would be nice to mount a tire on there and try them before I spend a cool grand on tires that wont fit...

Also trying to figure out the best place to put my new battery, its a biggun'..I went with the one big battery as opposed to the 2 smaller ones and I was going to mount it in my toolbox, unless you guys have a great suggestion...Thats all I can think of for now..

Cheers!
