I think it would be un stoppable with some big tires and maybe twin transfer cases plan on big tires cause rockwells only come with 720:1 gears or 672:1 something like that

I think its a very long power train for a buggy. If anything, it would probably have to me mounted in a backwards configuration.

Yup 672:1

I don't think the length will be a problem cause for what I hear is 109" is a great wheel base and I got a blazer that's about that with a 5.9 and 2wd getrag and a divorced np 205 I also seen a jeep on YouTube with a 6bt in it

Blazer wheel base is 106.5

Can't see why it wouldn't work, and the torque will be great for crawlin'.

It probably won't be a very competitive buggy though, due to the weight...

THE WEIGHT IS WHAT I DON'T KNOW AND FOR THE TIRES LOOKING A RUNNING 44 OR BIGGER
JUST THINKING ABOUT WHAT THE WIFE WAS SAYING DON'T DRIVE THE TRUCK MUCH SO WHY NOT BUILD A BUGGIE

AND FOR LENGTH WAS LOOKING AT 109 TO 115 WITH FRONT AND REAR STEAR

AS OF NOW BILD IS A 4.5 STROKER 435 DANA 300 14BOLT FRONT 60 OUTERS AND A 14 BOLT REAR
