Outer Limits 4x4 Board

can anyone tell me if anyone running 80 series diffs with 60 rear spring all round??? or if the 80 series diffs will fit under a 40 series

and what do think would be the best motor and box to run
-commodore 5ltr and t700 and dual transfer cases
-1UZ-FE and a 80 series auto box

just something i'm think of Building

You can come and put either one of those engine combos in my rig

Thanks

I have 80 diffs on coils under my truck you can see it in members there use to be a heap of photos of build but there all gone now there is some finished photos and links to more there though hope it helps i would go EFI v8 auto any day

i'm thinking of go 1UZ-FE and a 80 series auto box and i would like to go with 80 series diffs as well (but i dont think the diffs will fit and i dont want to make custom guards for it)

i know that 60 series diffs do fit and you dont have to make custom guards for them

but are the 60 series diffs up to the job of running front & rear diffs all the time

any help on what diffs to run

2 differences in the 80 series and 60 series diffs, well 3. width (80 series diffs are wider than 60 series, and 60 series is wider than 40 series) to get 60 series diffs under a 40 i think you have to either outboard the springs, or notch the housing to seat the spring perch, as the pumpkin sits where the springs need to mount..

The CV's are bigger in 80 series diffs.

80 series diffs have a high pinion, 8 inch reverse cut ring gear, which some say is weaker.

i think well looked after 60 series axles could run full time. locking hubs were optional on early 40 series, so the diffs would always be spinning when moving

can anyone post some pic's of 60 series diffs and spring setups for me to take a look at

mate you are obviously not too strapped for cash at the moment.

if you can do it, it will be a mean 40!!!!!!!

DO IT! DO IT!

have a look on shorty40s members, or Daz's too.
