2.5/2.8 slush-boxes.

Okay, this works.

 

 

 

 

Now I only need to start collecting parts. Or get a new brain.

 

 

What I'm thinking -

 

 

Build everything light.

 

Buick 231 (propane and some mild performance work) - 700R4 - NP231C (wider chain, 6 pinion planetaries, blah blah...)

 

And throw it on a new chassis. CHP 9's are about $800 for a complete third I think... It's hard to say wether to build a 609 front with 35 spline inners and outers using those thirds or not. If I break them I could go to a true hi-9 at a later point. Alternativly I could run 31~ spline inners and D44 outers. Ah hell. It's money down the toiled either way.

 

 

Or, I will be smart and not build anything since my MJ does currently work. It even works fairly well.

I've never had that particular dilemma. :D When I built the 88, it was broken. When I bought the 90 to build, it was broken. And the 88 is broken again and that's likely to not change when I get around to rebuilding it later this year.
