PMed you!

Survivor alright! pretty sure the odometer says 57,***! 318!

Thanks for the welcome, guys! I hope I can get her back on the road soon and hit up some of those shows! Right now I am getting ready to pick up a ford explorer 8.8 to put under the car. have a shop lined up to do the axle shortening, I just have to figure out how to get my old Trooper cleaned...

Hey folks, hope y'all are doing well! It's been a while since I've been on here, but I'm excited to be back and to learn some more info from y'all again. I've had my old '72 scamp since I was 17, and now that I'm 28 that feels like sort of a big deal considering how many other cars have come and...

i'm looking for a new rear end to put in my scamp. if anyone has an 8.25 or 8.75 they're willing to let go of that is near me, i'm interested. would prefer something no steeper than a 3.55, but shoot me a PM if you have one and are near me! thanks! would aslo prefer it to be a small bolt pattern.

Yeah, the poor old girl hasn't got much attention lately. i don't have the shop space any more, and so i don't really have any area to work on her. she just sits under her cover waiting for me to get the money to put into her. times are tough, as i don't have a job currently, so she may be...

wow, this is so much great information guys! i was starting to doubt if it was a worthwhile swap, but it sounds like it's pretty common and isn't too hard to get it fixed up for our application.

this is true about the b body housings. i could find one of those very easily, but IIRC the width is way different. i'd love an 8.75 as i am a big banjo rear end fan, but at the same time 8.8s are just so dang common! are they really only an inch wider than the A housings?

thanks for the info, i'm a big fan of overbuilding things myself. i was jsut curious about what yours was made out of and its thickness. a lot of offroad guys who aren't going high speed and stuff seem to run .120 wall DOM steel for the cages/rollbars, that's just why i asked! looks like an...

wow, great link! thanks a lot! doesn't seem like it was too difficult for them.

yes. the explorers also had 31-spline axles, and are very common in the offroad world for jeepers and ranger people, so they have lots of aftermarket parts available. it'd probably be very easy if you didn't find one with LS in it already to find an aftermarket trutrac or trac loc for it. it...

anyone use an 8.8" rear end out of a ford explorer? they came with discs, and i would assume they're a similar width, they're also 5 on 4.5 so it'd be a great way of keeping the same bolt pattern front and back. i would love some more in depth info if anyone has some. thanks!

maybe this is a standard deal, but in my offroad related rollcage world people use different thicknesses of tube for the cage. what thickness is that which you are using? there sure is a lot of it!

wow, i'm a little late! i drove past there on sunday and everyone was out there running- that's crazy that this happened!

wow, that paint looks great! a lot of people don't understand that wet sanding makes a HUGE difference in the finish. it's all about the prep work! wish my scamp's paint looked that good... guess that's what i get for having original :D it came out really well, definitely something to be proud of!

yeah, i'm starting to think it may be better to just do the offset shackles and go with the widest i can run with that.it would make more sense for this car.... it would have been cool to tub it though lol

why don't you just make one for yourself, and when you decide you don't want to drive it to work every day anymore, then sell it?

yeah, i think that it will satisfy my need for speed! the machine shop is supposed to be getting me a core to start with sometime soon. we shall see. can't wait to get rolling with it!

i hope for your sake they don't get shut down. nice truck though, the new ones look so BA.

i didn't see a single vehicle that couldn't be restored.... for the right price. it's all about how badly you want it. even that one that looked like nothing more than weeds could be put back together. just takes some hard work, and plenty of $$$$$$ (and yes, those are the numbers of digits it...

that's the color i want mine to be, too! did you use a can, or get it pro sprayed?

sweet. that is a nice lookin' ..."motor" man.

great! will do. thank you! good way to save my money!

just wondering what size those trans. holes are so i can get them before the engine is here. gonna need em for the block. simple enough of a question!

all i have heard is that it doesn't flow as well as the air gap. can't say i have a lot to back it up... just what i've heard :dontknow: and yeah, i'm starting to think aftermarket axles are going to be the best bet any way i look at it. moser probably sells a good set.

i want to build the trans myself. i can find a core, and i have a friend who has done 904s and 727s for a looong time, would rather not spend all that money on buying a pre-finished one. and i know it's possible to fit 325s back there with a minitub. it's gonna be tight, but it'll work. thanks...

it's actually photos of a girlfriend of some guy on a bodybuilding forum.... he asked her to pose on his integra. i guess they deleted the thread though, i was going to link that. it was pretty priceless.

you guys have to look at this. http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/ladytypes/1005454202

alright, so i am going to be building a 360 with anywhere from 350-450 horse. i need to have a drivetrain that can handle this, as well as be capable of hooking with some nice wide tires and such. i want to run 325/50/15s. in order to do this, i know i will need to minitub, as well as relocate...

i hate hondas.
