70 Duster T5 Swap
Yeah that has a 3.35 first gear. The 3.55s are in the rear end now, so I guess I'll leave them in there!
Zac that will be sweet. boosted big block!
Got the hole in the floor cut and the transmission up for final fitment.
Once I got it where I liked it, I started to build a cross member. I started with the taller ford mount. But it was way to tall. I didnt want the cross member to hang down much further then stock if any. So I found an old jeep one laying around and cut the bottom off the ford mount.
After doing that and getting it up in there, it was still too tall for my liking. Back to the drawing board.... ended up cutting an end off an old jeep track bar and welding it to an old shackle that happened to have the correct bolt holes.
For the cross member I had to cut most of the center out of it and welded some D.O.M . tubing in there and a couple tabs I had laying around from the rock crawling stuff.
Got the cross member back up and bolted it all together.
Once that was all done, my dad and I started putting the new carpet in for the 5 spd. Its not all done yet and the boot and ring are just sitting there for show.
More to come!
