5.83s will have that poor pinion spinning just as fast as a drag car for way longer that a quarter mile pull. Not a good recipe for endurance, same goes for the rest of the drive line, even with O/D. 4.56s or even dropping in the 3.xxs will yield better highway manners and maintain offroad...

FL transplant, towing a 53 M37 up from Jax this weekend. Portsmouth area

Got the parts. Going to read up on some things for it and freshen up the axles and engine over the winter. Hopefully I can find a line on a Spicer 5spd and the needed parts, if not, the 465 I have will be bolted in.

I believe VPW has them as well.

I would say the easiest route would be modifying an intake to accept the injectors and throttle body from a Jeep 4.0L, and then see if there are aftermarket computers for it so you could tailor the open and closed circuits for the 230's rpm band. Current aftermarket TBI setups would be to large...

Mine is either going to be haze grey, or I'll match the original strata blue. Those would be my suggestions.

The axle goes all the way through the hub and can be removed separate of the hub assembly.

I'll need to study those diagrams then. Though, I've never been good at reading such things.

I'm looking to begin repowering mine with a CUCV 6.2L take out motor near the end of next month. I was looking for any tips anyone might have for maintaining a wiring setup similar to the CUCV where the charging and starting circuits are 24v but accessory circuits (lights, dash, etc.) are 12v...

I'm running Interco TSLs

I would think that gearsets for the Dana's on the M715 would actually be available.

I'm going with a CUCV pullout motor and full powertrain swap. Though from my reading, the 6.2L would be fine for just an engine/ tranny swap. I'm doing full driveline to get disc all around, allow me to run tubless, and it'll be cheaper and less hassle that going through and rebuilding the...
