Can Ya just send me one. Please.
This exactly. Ths is my plan for my Commando with the D20. I'd love to have the lower Tera low gears but the extra .69 of a ratio isn't worth it to me. Used to be that Bronco gear was pretty much unobtanium but they are reproduced now. I think $100 ish.
Its still not really any cheaper as the adaptor to my Jeep T18 is $600 plus rebuilding the 40YO+ D300 would likely be necessary.
Check this thread....I copied stuff from nickmil into although unfortunately seems nicks original thread is gone....
Basically you need this gear (along with the 2.46 D18 gears):
Yes assuming it hasn't been messed with. You would then need to add the 'bronco' rear sliding gear posted above and you'd have all the hard parts.
Do you plan to mount the seats in front of the engine?It’s a Roller!!
Just to see how messed up we are!
The front looks really long and the driveshaft angle looks pretty extreme. We will put the tub on tomorrow and get a better view.
The engine definitely needs to move forward and the bumper back a couple inches.
You’re working fast! Did you buy just an engine, or a whole truck? I’ve been looking for a good 4.3 also. Are you needing to rebuild the engine, or is it good as is?
Engine and harness, going to clean it up replace some easy/cheap stuff and run it.
Hmmm, not really sure what’s being built here with engine so far back, as the crank pulley should be closer to the center line of the axle for a standard Jeep body without serious modifications to the firewall. Can’t wait to see the progress…
not sure there is such a thing my 4.3 has been trouble since it was in the blazer I took it out of, all new parts inside, crank pistons bearings etc. still a pos. its getting the axe in the spring when i can work in the shop without spending a fortune on heat. it will be free if you or anyone wants to come get it then.
