Outer Limits 4x4 Board

No, not enough horsepower! Try a Cat 3408!
Seriouslly, duramax is the go if you are going to throw some money at a toy! About 1/2 the weight of a 3208 and earliest version (LB7) was 300 hp. A 3208 would be a full load in the back of a patrol ute let alone hanging over the front axle!

Guys, Thanks for the advise. Interesting points about the Torque multiplication to the drive line. Does the torque convertor give you a multiplication affect also by a factor of 1.5 to 2 ? Had thought of smoking all four tryes on the bitumen as the TD5 certainly would not! Slunnie wrote You couldn't ...

Strangerover wrote I have no idea of how big the allison out put is but you may be able to get a hollow tube splined internally to suit the allison and then machine out the lt320 input gear and press and weld the hollow tube into the lt230 input gear. This does a few things...it adapts the lt230 to ...

John, Thanks for your input. I did not realise that the 10 spline was the same as the early axles. Maybe i am better to get a new output shaft made and the input gear resplined. I think i have enough meat to respine the input gear and that saves me worrying about it if i give it curry. Shifting ...

Hi Guys, I have shoe horned in a duramax into my defender and adapting the allison to the LT230. I have all ready made the adaptor out of billet alloy but have yet to sort out how to match the 29 spline of the Allison to the 10 spline of the LT230. I see i have 2 choices 1. Get new longer output ...

Heath, Good work there mate and good to see you got it running. What did you do to get vacuum for your brakes. Did you throw on another alternator with an vac pump on that? I know the earlier LB7 had vac pumps but the LBZ certainly dont and hydroboost is not very popular in OZ vehicles. You must be ...

Gday Damien, Can you resend email please? Did get one but no address or nothing, Norton antvirus grabbed it so deleted it. Thanks again.

RUFF wrote Sorry Gaz its for a T700 Adapter Bugger. Thanks anyway and give us all some details of your kit when you get it done. ISUZUROVER wrote I think your best bet for one of these is to buy from the US - I think BCB makes this adaptor. I think you are right there. Have checked out there web ...

RUFF wrote No just adapting them to other Transmisions so they need to be Re-Splined. We may look at selling these as a conversion in the future. Would these transmissions be any manuals at all ? I have been trying to get a NV4500 to LT230 adptor kit in OZ but have had no luck. I want to put a ...
