I have 2 total stockers, another with a 350 V8 and stock driveline, and am currently building another with a 468 FI BBC, TH400, dual t-cases, M1009 diffs with detroits, hydo-assisted steering, and hydro-boosted 4-wheel disc brakes. I am still deliberating over A/C....
I pulled 230 out do to high maintnace and cost of parts. Now i am in the process of swaping a 460 ford with C6 auto stock transferscase.
Poll added...GREAT IDEA by the way!!
Hey Jon,
Should me add gas or diesel while we are at it?
I'm going with a 4bt and TH400. Just because thats what the Frito truck had in it.
Warthog
402 BB Chevy and TH400. Stock driveline otherwise. My truck didn't have the original engine or trans when I got it and I wasn't about to put a 230 back in it. Far too expensive to rebuild one.
Went with the V8 with a Swapped Manual option.
AMC 360, Advance Adapters OD + Stock 4-speed.
The P.O. started swapping in a 318/727 in mine. One of my possibilities are to swap in a 307/700r4.
Not enough room for all the diesel combos here...but we can do a diesel vs gas swap on just motor stuff...
I put a 351 Cleveland V8 and a T-18 Rockcrusher trans with a divorced NP205. My 230 was doing the Batmobiles smoke screen impression too well.
I have:
9 stock trucks ( 2 M724, 2 M726, 5 M715 )
1 M725 with a 360 dodge/T98/NP200
1 350 sbc/TH400/divorced NP205
1 5.7 sbc/NV4500/203/205 (in progress)
1 8.0L BBC/4l80E/203/205 (late summer or fall) w/cucv axles
I like the stock trucks. I haven't found it to be all that hard to keep the 230 running.
