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.

Price will be much cheaper...

will he throw in a set of taurus fans?

With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
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
Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
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???

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
Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
I know someone with a 23 spline 231 he wants to sell.
less than a case of keystone?
