I am working a frame up re-build and SOA on my 83 CJ7. Stock with D30 front and AMC20 rear. 258 with a T5 tranny and D300 Xfer case.
I have a set of D44 front and AMC20 rear axles and a 228 xfer case from an 85 waggy that I would like to use for the SOA setup.
Here is my problem / question:
I am trying to finish this project for short money as I have a little one on the way. I would like to use the waggy axle setup with my existing engine and tranny but have a problem as the D44 and D30 have opposite differentials.
I have toyed with doing a D300 flip kit but too expensive.
Does it make sense / can I use the 228 Xfer case with the T5 and then use the waggy axles?
Has anyone ever done this, have any ideas, or low cost suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
CHip
