Ok, First Post. I have a 76 Fj40. I've owned it for about four years. When I bought it, it came with a chevy 305, Th350, TLC transfer, and shackel reversal. It was pretty much stock looking. Every moving part on it leaked something oil, coolant, tranny fluid, etc. The PO's were stupid, ok IDIOTS. They thought it would be a good idea to weld the P/S box bolts to the bracket and weld the steering arm together which just looks scary. So for the last four years I have been trying to build this Beast into the ultimate vehicle. Already I've built a 350 and threw it in. Had overheating issues, cured that with an aluminum radiator and Black Magic fan.
A couple of years ago I found a old Blazer with a NP465 tranny hooked to a 205 transfer. I took it thinking this is what I was going to put in it, but had second thoughts. I found a 87 Blazer with everything I wanted Th700 and fuel injection. I took that. Plus I found a old 70s Dodge van 3/4 ton with a D60HD full floater I took that too. (Freebe, Zilch, Nada) The only thing was, it was offset. I new I wanted it centered so I had Shaffer's cut it down and centered it. Thanks Shaffer's.
Now I bought a 2 speed STAk transfer with driver drop and adapter. I should get that in mid March. On my last weekend I removed the Th350 and TLC transfer. So this is the start of my build. Alot a hard sweat and blood. Below is a short list of whats going to happen.
Engine - SBC 350 w/ TBI fuel injection
Tranny - TH700r4
Transfer - 2 speed STAk w/ driver drop
Front - Ford D60 HP
Rear - D60 HD Full Floater
Lift - 2 1/2 HFS w/ SOA
Tires - 35 MTR's maybe 37's
