dr_hunt Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 So, a trip to our local yard here netted the following; Two 350 4 bolt main core engines, one with an edelbrock performer and a holley 650DP, a th350 4wd trans coupled to a NP 205 transfer case, both drivelines, all for $320. A steal IMO Took apart one motor, was .030 over already and crank .010. Block needs align hone and bore. I'm going to take the other one apart from the trans and take it apart, it looks unmolested except for intake and carb. Then it's off to my trans guy to have the th350 done, he owes me big time so it's a freebie. Then the jeep is going to get a 350 chevy and that trans and transfer case. Also I am narrowing 9 inch ford rear ends now, so it's going to get my first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrustnut Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Ditto. Went to the JY this weekend with my father in-law and picked up a set of S12+8 callipers in perfect condition with good pads for 30.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Looks like an NP203 full time t-case to me (differential mounted behind the range box). They can be converted to part time if you want. Any way you look at it though, that's a good deal for what you pulled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhp123166 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I found some s-30 upper door molding with intact rubber for $5.00 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentZ Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 ha a second hand 350 here will set you back at least $1000 most of the time. Lucky Lucky Man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Also I am narrowing 9 inch ford rear ends now, so it's going to get my first one. I've been curious about how this is accomplished. Been thinking about building a home made garden-sized tractor out of my spare parts pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 your right the 205 isn't in the picture. They tore up the drivelines, had put a 203 on it that was worn out and made noise so they junked it. There is an 1.5 inch solid steel bar with bearing inserts that slides through the center section and housing. Holds the ends perfectly in line with the bearing bores. You line it up, tack it and weld it. Measure and order new axles or have stock resplined if they are the right ones that can be resplined.

ktm Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Only in New Mexico Doc, only in New Mexico. Here in Cali a single engine runs $350 unless you hit the half price days. Congrats on the pulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
