been there done that,got the T-Shirt.....Call McLeod industries and ask for "RED" I forget the P/N but they make at top loader to T-5 adapter that has the correct front bearing retainer I.D./O.D. to fit, all you have to do is drill the threaded holes to pass thru size. Also have McLeod build you a 11.5" reverse hub 26 spline disc, not anymore expensive then a 10 spline, and you are not taking the tranny apart. Order up a crossmember from Ron Morris Performance and bolt it in! There are two choices for the driveshaft fit....shorten the shaft or get a Bronco/Truck yoke for the 9 inch rear(I used the yoke) I installed this set-up in my 69 CJ XR-7......3.25 gears 26" dia tires .64 O/D ratio yields....70 mph=1800 rpm 2500 rpm=100 mph. I used the TREMEC 600 purchase it from Mustang Racing Technologies ask for Scott. he flat rated shipping for me and was not marking up the tranny. I spoke to a few places that had""KITS" and offered shortened input shafts and some other fluff and the conversion will be 700-1000 bucks more. The adapter is FINE if you want send me an e-mail and I can fwd some pics of my install. I installed Pwr R&P after the last CJ smoked and I have about 2K miles on the car w/5spd and pwr rack...IT ROCKS! |
