TJ wranglers shafts are little more than 1ft long. they have heaps more wheel travel than this. do it i say!
btw. wont that diff be heaps too short for the drags? maybe if it was a rotor.. but a torquey possibly turbo'd falcon motor id be looking at something with low 3's in the gears
'75 international acco fire truck!!
'70 VG sedan - current project, now 13's for $1300 project
'70 dodge yoot, current project - mothballed long term
'73 KE25 corolla - race car
'74 KE25 corolla - back on the road!
'89 BNR32 skyline - mothballed..
My mate has a Holden V8 powered one of these painted green its called the tod (Truck of death), im waiting for him to send some pics so I can post them up.
Yeah thanks for the TJ info, that's reasuring.
4.44's and 20 inch tyres aren't going to go well with a long stroke 4.o litre.
Going to look at running coilovers on the front so that I can piss off the torsion bars as they are in the way a bit. Anyone got some (real) cheap coilovers?

nope, guy went for cheaper sold 3 link rear.
its on ls1tech, i'll try to find it. nice build.
found it

Been thinking of getting it towed down to the local weighbridge to get an idea of where I'm at weightwise.
all motor for allmtr?
E36 M3 12.92 @ 108.64mph, N/A 3.0L
13's seem doable with a 1450kg Falcon. If this weighs ~1000kg then it should run better than a 13.9. Seems hell light and I can lift the back off the ground with ease.
I think they may have even dipped into 12s NA? But it would seem the mods needed for this would actually be more expensive that turboing? Not that you would need many NA mods if the car was 1000kg!13's seem doable with a 1450kg Falcon.
1 guy I know has run a 12.9 in a lightened EA, thin carpet, no heater stuff, no power steering etc. He had ITB's, a wolf V500 and is a cheque book racer so the details of what was done are sketchy. Extensive headwork, custom cam, slicks, 4.11 diff and possibly e85 from what I can gather.
He had an experienced drag racer behind the wheel too.
How is a truck only 1000kgs? Is it suzuki carry sized?
Nah its reasonably sized but the chassis is pretty light judging by my pushometer
Located a pintara (for the diff) but the guy wants two cases for it. . . Dreamin'
I took an econovan to sims it was 950kg
Cab chassis or van? Motor and box removed?
Got the rear suspension out and it looks like I can keep the torsion bars by clocking them and making some new brackets.

Need to drill out the rivets and slide the brackets back probably about 8 to 10 inches. I'll try to keep the standard rear springs but will pull a couple of leaves out of them.
Start three weeks holiday next week so that should help
Ok some wheeling and dealing has occurred. Got the Pintara for $50. I'll be using the diff, tailshaft, battery, radiator and possibly the alternator.
Local wrecker swapped my broadband intake manifold for a MPFI one.
Got a lead on a second hand wade cam and shims for $150
Pintara brings spend up to $184, oh $189 as I found an extinguisher at the wreckers for 5 bucks

Good stuff, all coming together it seems! Run the whole diff, don't swap gears.
has he pulled off a VB manual steering column for me yet?
