so what is he paying? I'm curious because this holds some interesting possiblities. Like I was telling eric yesterday, you could grab a 4.3/NV3500/NP231 combo out of a 4x4 S10, and then add the D300 to that. Seems like it would be a simple, lightweight, and fairly strong setup for something like a buggy or a toyota looking for more power

just talked to Novak and it's not that easy...
there's not an adapter available to go from chevy np231 pattern>D300, only from jeep 231 pattern>D300, though it might not be hard to make. So to go 4.3>nv3500(actually Warner-Aisin 3550)>D300 using currently available adapters you'd have to go 4.3>bellhousing adapter>AX15 (same tranny but different bolt patterns)>tcase adapter>D300. Unless of course someone wants to whip up a chevy pattern 231>d300 adapter.
And I'm not so sure that 3550/ax15 is gonna be any stronger than a yota w56, though it's probably a lot easier to find.

ok ding-a-lings... When talking to D.D. Machine about advice on cutting the splines on my shaft, he told me he was making a kit similar too madroosters. If you read pirate alot, you've seen arguments between the two of them over splines, etc... I'm not sure how secretive this whole project is he is doing as he's hinted to it on pirate. Price will be much cheaper...

will he throw in a set of taurus fans?
-
lets do this in your thread, dingaling
-
on further research it looks like the 3550>300 adapter is already available, but to put a 300 behind a 700r4 or similar. It looks like you'd need a new output shaft for the tranny though...sorry for snaking the thread Creighton

yeah, I talked to DD machine after advice from Doug, its who I am getting my doubler from when he has them finished.
If you compare the cases on the 231 you could do the doubler behind the 231 and add the 300. The price of the coubler would be similar to an adaptor
-
well I talked to DD machine today, has the doubler for sale as of March 20, 349+ 15 shipping compared to Mad Rooster's $649. I am ordering one as soon as I can
-
well on the way back from South Texas my welded rear decided to take a dump on me. It just broke the welds so it makes wonderful sounds again.
So I decided to order a detriot and maybe some new gears, haven't decided on it yet.
-
I thought you took welding classes??? :flipoff2:
-
I didnt weld it, the welds held good for about 10000 miles. Don't think the carrier is quite strong enough for the welded gears.
-
ok, well I am dropping the jeep off at 4wp to get gears and a new locker put in, and I just ordered the 231 doubler from DD machine. Now to go search for a 23 spline 231 and a 231cHD
-
I know someone with a 23 spline 231 he wants to sell.
-
less than a case of keystone?
