Well just talked to DD machine and the doublers will be done in a few weeks so I am planning on a 231 doubler infront of a flipped dana 300.
Just decided I should start my own thread so I can feel special.

Well just talked to DD machine and the doublers will be done in a few weeks so I am planning on a 231 doubler infront of a flipped dana 300.
Just decided I should start my own thread so I can feel special.
I hope u plan on extending the wheelbase, or the thats gonna be a crazy short rear drive. good luck
it's not much longer than a regular 231.
how much longer we talking? a rear TJ driveshaft is short when stock
Yeah, but on a TJ you have about 2" of actual driveshaft after the CV, and a kickass driveline angle w/ a 4" lift on a SYE 231. Maybe the Standard makes it better?
a high pinion in the rear would prolly make it easier, but if the transfercase combo is much longer than stock I bet you have to lengthen the wheelbase.
you should really find a trashed jeep to do all this to and ot your daily dri.... oh wait, nevermind, your good to go.
the driveshaft angle will be fine as long as you dont get any more lift or do a flat skid.
i haven't measured the length of the 231 w/ sye, but the lenght of the doubler and 300 will be around 18 inches. pretty much the same lenght as the 231 is right now.
I may have to to a MML to get the angles better but i don't plan on adding anymore lift
Right now I am have 5 inches of tube between the CV and slip shaft
yep, thats what I am doing
That has the length comparisons in the text somewhere. I read it but when I posted the link I was too tired to look them up again. Looks like you'll gain a little length in your shaft... :rainbow:
yeah about an inch
so, let me get one thing straight. What you're doing is similar to the Mad Rooster version, but you're having it done by DD machine? Is there a difference between the two?
I'd guess that he won't be paying that exhorbitant butt-pirate price for his.
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?
Lots of keystone.
ill pass, i know where a couple are that will fit my purpose just fine
I finally picked up that broken one. Its probably ****ed up beyond use to you but once I get the **** out of it I want you can have the rest, for spare parts if nothing else.
what kind of case is it? does it have a tag?
I told you its a 231 out of a dodge half ton truck. The truck hit a large dead tree doing like 60 mph down the beach and it basically ripped the truck in half.
I'd love to see pictures of that. :cheers:
pictures of the case?

The body was still well mangled, the front clip was destroyed and the body was smashed prety good but the passenger area was mostly intact. Odly enough I dont think the bed got damaged.
I think i may be able to use that case, get me more info por favor
More info? Its broken, you can have it fo free after I take the parts I need. What else do you need to know?
