dr_hunt Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Well, got the 509 all fired up, carb fixed, tuned, etc. Sounded meaner than hell. Smoked tires up and down the street, wow'ed a few friends and was having fun on the small 235r 16MS tires. So, having all that fun, we decided to bolt on the big 39.5 x 17Wide x 15 cut boggers and have even more fun with all this new HP. A few romps in the back yard proved to be a little much for the old 2wd th350 trans case! So, my buddies came to rescue. Tomorrow I'm going to have a 4wd th350 case with all my internals installed and I'll slap that baby in tomorrow afternoon. That and make the 4wd braces and bracket for the tansfer case to the frame.

SuperPickle Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 My friend's Evo VIII did that same thing, except there was also a nice metallic paste that would cut you, instantly. Oh, and it was 2 years old and only running 20 hp over stock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_hunt Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Wow, any shrapnel? No shrapnel. But I don't think it would matter anyway, I have a 1/8" steel plate for a floor board for that reason!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Massive carnage, Doc. Bit of a bummer though, but better in your backyard then in the bog somewhere. Cool that you'll be able to swap everything and install it in only a day?!? You work fast. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zwitha383 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Definite props on the carnage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v80z Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Do you think the new casing will be stronger? Will it be a stronger setup because of extra bracing from the frame to the casing? Or did it cannon just due to the fact that you had the super swampers on the back producing too much torqe? Next time you go muddin with your z please take video !!!!

Way too much torque and the transfer case was not mounted to the frame, which it will be now. the 4wd drive case is definatly stronger but the problem here is ill bet its still not strong enought have you concidered going with the th400? it alot more solid We disassembled the th350 this AM, the clutches were begining to burn, so I opted for the th400 and another np208 case, which now resides in the '33 dodge. I just got finished about 10PM installing it all. My buddy Tony came over and helped me stab the trans and t case and bolt everything up. Works great. So, now to fab the t case mount to the frame and then another one from the back of the driver side cylinder head to the lower frame rail in case the frame is flexing under torque. We'll see. I hope to get some good vids that may show just what the frame is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
