Sometimes bad things will kick the door off the hinges to let in the good things!!!

I mean if my tires are unrepairable I can totally justify some bigger ones to the misses!

Yeah, I figured as much.

Anyways, what did you get it from? I can't remember if you told me or not.

I originally got the motor out of a 1974 Chevy Van, but it needed more work then I felt like putting into it. So i traded it and some cash for this motor that was recently rebuilt and is complete. I am not sure what this motor came out of other than a full size truck. The exhaust is kicking my butt. I have tried shorty headers, long tube headers and stock manifolds. So far only the drivers side fits well. I am experimenting with the passenger side right now.

Also ran into a problem with the front diff. being in the way of the oil pain. So my options right now are go straight to a D60 and 14b or full width D44 and 9", or my last option is to keep the narrow 9" and build a hybrid HP dana 30 by combining it with a CJ dana 30 to keep my 5 on 5.5 bp, and lockouts.
