Dave Stark Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 So i have a friend thats big in the drag racing world out here & he turned me onto a used parts supplier so i could order my Ford 8.8 & a Dana 30 (4wd conversion) for Old Drippy. I had requested 4.10L on the 8.8 which he found easily & he said he also found a Dana 30 with 4.10's as well. My question is: Did Jeep offer the D30's with 4.10 gearing or is this some kind of mistake? I'm thinking it was in the 4 cylinder trucks but not sure. BTW, I won't get to see them until Wednesday & i don't have to pay for them if it's not what I'm looking for... Thanks for the input. ~Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Stark Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Also, the 8.8 is coming from a 97 Explorer & the D30 is from a 96 Cherokee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdocdave Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 yep, 4 banger xj or tj would be your front donor, and the 97 8.8 is a good choice also, you can also get them with factory limited slip fairly easy also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Yes, Dana 30s came with 4.10 gearing. Any 2.5 with a 5 speed should have 4.10 gearing. Emphasis on should. Always double check. Dana 30s, IIRC, can take gears up to 4.88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4.10L is is what i ordered which is the limited slip version IIRC, but i'll find out quickly enough when I see it. Thanks for the input guys. Geonovast somehow i knew you would post on this one... ~Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue XJ Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Yes, Dana 30s came with 4.10 gearing. Any 2.5 with a 5 speed should have 4.10 gearing. Emphasis on should. Always double check. Dana 30s, IIRC, can take gears up to 4.88. Yup, and believe it or not, I have a D30 with FACTORY 4.56 gears in it. Apparently there were a few 4 cylinder automatic XJ's built in 1987 that got 4.56's stock, and I grabbed one from the junkyard! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
