Build Frog's 40

[A10Driver]

My 76 refresh. Plan: remove 350, install LS, fj60 4 speed and split case, fj60 axles soa, 37" tires on beedlocks.

 

[A10Driver]

Removed the top and built a new bumper

 

[A10Driver]

Pulled the 350

Parts run to Tim Hill in Tucson

what ls variant are you going to use?

Axle out in the rear and fj60 axle in

what ls variant are you going to use?

5.3 from Tilden Motorsport using the Holley terminator wiring harness/ programmer

 

[A10Driver]

For shackles I'm using liquid iron slide shackles, and Tahoe 54" springs at all four corners. Old bushings sucked getting out/ lots of bfh persuasion needed

 

[A10Driver]

Ordered one wheel to check fitment, it's 17x9 from raceline.

 

[A10Driver]

Planning on these tires, any feedback would be appreciated

This pretty much catches me up, I am waiting on high steer for front, and some more lii slider shackles for the front. Engine should be here next week, apparently Holley is set back a few weeks due to covid

What’s your overall height goal? I’m looking at the slider shackles to help lower my SOA.

Are you planning on outboarding the front springs or keeping them under the framerails for more forced articulation?

As low as I can with springover. Shooting for 42" at the wheelwell

Planning on under the frame, trying to leave space for bigger tires if I decide to go that route and not have them hit the leaf springs when turning

You may have already checked but those jack stands look like the ones Harbor Freight has a safety recall for.
