Ok, I did the google search, I spent 2 hours reading threads from 2004. There was a Nuke_Rollie that had a 6.2 on a chebby chasis, said he would talk about his rig, but hasn't been on since 2004. I've read Tacoma's and Dougs ideas.
I have a friend that is a diesel nut and gave me his running non turbo 6.2L out of his blazer. I love the idea of putting it in the M715 after a rebuild. I have another friend that burned up an 80's suburban with a th400 and a 208 t-case. I know I could put it all together, but haven't read a thing about 208s. 205 is the one to have, but I don't. One guy told me that the only problem with a 208 is the size, but it could be clocked (rotated) and shielded to keep it from gettin trashed.
I've read lots of request for pictures of Bcowan's, and earlier zoners, but could not find any. I liked the idea of swapping frames and axles to get the brakes, steering etc., but I would like to keep the frame (great shape) with the ID number stamped in.
Enough background, why haven't I seen much about the 208 in the zone?
