I think I may have my gearing sorted out. However I wanted to run it by someone who has some time behind the wheel of a 4BT powered vehicle. The setup I currently have/have in mind 4BT Ford t-19 (here's where it may get wierd for some) NP241 to a D300.(Box4Rocks) The twin cases get me a good crawl ratio right around 86 with my axle gear choice. Pretty good I think. Onto the axles.
I currently have a set of D44's under my Scout II they have 3.07's. I'm also running 35" tires. At a cruising speed of 65MPH I will be turning 1900 RPM. From what I've read on this forum that seems like it should be alright.
Here's the Q's.
Do you think the 44's will hold up to the 4BT or is an axle upgrade in order?:nuke:
Without an overdrive are higher numerical gears are out of the question? (It's a daily driver)
And what do you guys think about a box4rocks behind a 4BT?
What do you guys think.... -wingnut13
