As a newbie on this forum I'm still amazed about the tons of info you can find over. Still, I am wondering if anybody has done an SPOA conversion. I'm planning to do a body off restoration of my '83 f20 and, in the process, also makes some mods to the driveline.
So a couple of questions on this:
- what about driveline angles. Best thing is to fit a cv-driveshaft in the rear, I suppose. Are these available or do I have to fabricate one myself. Or is just slight increase in pinion angle sufficient?
- anybody an idea how I can mount the new springpad on the cast diff housing (I don't now if it's the same on Rockies, but one of my pads sits on the diff housing)
- Can I easily fit another engine, was thinking about a 22r toyota, it seems that they can easily be installed, with minor fabrication.
Hope any of you guys can help me on this....
BTW I don't know if lockers are still a problem in dai-land, but i think it is. A company in Germany seems to make electric and vacuum lockers for al the models, I'm planning to install them next summer because for me Germany is not that far.... www.offrotec.com
It's a grey area though 
For every inch you go up (4" or so with SOA) you want to go just as far out to maintain stability. I'd asumen more stability than standard would be good too. What tyres do ou want to run 
then consider transplanting in wider diffs to compensate
