Geonovast Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 You'll need either a 4wd AX-4 or AX-5. I would shoot for an AX-5, since you'll have the 4.10 gearing and the overdrive is rather helpful. This, of course, if you're staying with a 2.5 Are you dumping in a 4.0? If so, you'll need a 4wd AX-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89comanchesleeper Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 no I'm gonna keep the 2.5 for now cuz it runs so good. future plans for a 327 swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 no I'm gonna keep the 2.5 for now cuz it runs so good. future plans for a 327 swap. You talkin about the AMC 327, or a Chevy 327? A Chevy 327 would be nice, but an AMC 327 would be TRICK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 If you've got a lot of yards and some time, try to find an AX-4/5 from an 84-86 or 93+. They'll have an external slave setup. If yours is an 86 however, then you'll already have the external setup, and you can just migrate that over to the new trans. Putting up some specs in your signature helps out with tech questions. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
