Hello,
I'm piecing together the drivetrain in my '63 Jeep J300. I'm trying to figure out the driveshaft layout. The truck will have 3.08 gears and will not have tires larger than 31". This is for hauling medium loads, occasionally towing my 4400 lb old car.
- Early 2WD GM NV4500. Seems to have a 1310 U-joint.
- NP200 divorced transfer case from my M715: 1310's.
- Front Dodge Dana 60 axle: 1310.
- Rear Dodge Dana 60: 1410.
I'm hoping to get 150HP out of my rotary pump 4BT (about 400 lbs-ft). Will 1310's in the stub shaft (between transfer case and transmission) be durable? I'm tempted to keep 1310's all around, except 1410's in the rear driveshaft.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mikel
