    who to go to to build up a Turbo 400 trans

    I might rebuild it myself. I ordered a Transgo shift kit and I'm looking for a 34 element sprag. Does anyone have any recomendations for other parts I need to make this trans stronger? I figure if I supply all the parts it should be cheaper to rebuild if I go that route. I also want to...

    who to go to to build up a Turbo 400 trans

    I need my TH400 transmission built to handle the torque of the big block engine I'm building (around 600 ft/lbs). At a minimum I want a 34 element sprag, a perfomance valve body, all the bearings, clutches and bands upgraded. Who in or around the Ogden area do you recomend? Thanks...

    loose engine rod

    I hate to ask this, but is there a reason you pulled the cover to look at the lifters? I ask because some lifters bleed down pretty easy. It doesn't really matter because the oil pressure pumps them up as the engine runs. Even more, some lifters are designed to bleed down quickly at low...

    Holley Carb problem

    If it was just rebuilt then the guy didn't set the float correctly. You probably just need to adjust it is all.

    Holley Carb problem

    LOL, or if the float is the plastic variety it could be fuel soaked and no longer floats at the correct height. Or if the float is the brass vareity it could have a hole in a solder joint and filled with fuel.

    Holley Carb problem

    Oh, it could also be a spec of dirt on the neddle or the float is jammed.

    Holley Carb problem

    You need to replace the float needle or adjust the float level. Unless you messed with the float level, my guess is the float needle is shot.

    F150/Jeep YJ axle swap

    Looky what I found; I've contacted the owner, hopefully he will reply back and share some info. It looks like it is as easy as I thought it would be. I believe those are 39's :eek2: with stock TJ coils.

    F150/Jeep YJ axle swap

    The ton of research was in reference to the Ford radius rod suspension or rather installing it into late model Fords. I previously posted that I was confused about the Ford/Chevy parts that would interchange. I read Mr. N's Dana axle write ups prior to posting this thread and it was his article...

    F150/Jeep YJ axle swap

    DevinB, thank you, that is exactly the info I needed. Bone Down, 61 1/2" on my YJ. I have 0 offset wheels and 6" flares. The tires are completely under the flares. I did a ton of research and I really do think I'm gonna go coils up front using the Ford suspension. It depends where the...

    F150/Jeep YJ axle swap

    My axle wms to wms is more then 58" I measure mine at 61 1/2". By my eye-measurement I'd guess the F-150 axles are 65" or 1 1/2" wider per side. I'd measure it with a tape, but it's in a field and I haven't felt like playing in the weeds and mud just yet. The axle does have coils and a radius...

    F150/Jeep YJ axle swap

    Bone Down, the donor vehicle is a 77 F-150. I drove my Jeep behind the truck and eyeballed the axle lengths and it looks like I'll gain about an inch or so on both sides with the Ford axles. It's good to know I'll be ok on the castor. I took a good look at it yesterday and it looked like the...

    F150/Jeep YJ axle swap

    I searched prior to posting and found three main write ups and several copies of them. The problem with the write ups is they all had quirky things. One did an SOA with a shackle reversal. The other two shortened the axles. I thing they all used Bronco axles, and for sure one did a F250 axle...

    Tire Tech Question

    Well...it turns out it was not a bent axle. Alloy USA overnighted an axle to me free of charge. I decided to measure the old and new axles to compare. They both measured with the same runout? To make a long story short the cheap china AutoZone drums that I bought at the same time I was...

    Tire Tech Question

    Tacoma, I didn't mean that to sound rude. I was sincerly asking a question. As it sits right now I can move the Jeep around if needed till the axle gets here. So typically how much abuse can an axle take before it tweeks? When I brushed up against the stump the tire was about an...
