2 headers I bet so they avoid the Jeep 4 liter problem of cracking at the collector (as they all do except for the late models with expansion joints. Inline 6 has a long distance across a single flange for heat expansion.

mmm...sure? i dunno. made it easier to fab then a single piece im sure

Looking good Dan!

Might be by to get the p/s pump this weekend (sunday), not 100% for sure yet, but the wife is talking about taking the kids to see a movie at Evergreen/185th. And hitting up Costco. So, I'll let ya know later in the week.

well i finally sourced a t100 5 spd.
pulled it out of a 96 with 89k on it, only 300 bucks and a trip to eugene oregon area, so happy.

anyone have a link to a crawl box with chain drive case build? i wanna see

good price on the tranny Dan! why do you want to keep the chain drive case?

um...cause its there, and it would be about 300 bucks cheaper...i dunno, just weighing my options

pumkin toy · « **Reply #576 on:** Jan 13, 2010, 07:19:50 PM »

you are doing duals right? so you will use a gear drive case for the crawl box and the chain drive for the second case correct?

I thought so, I guess i'm just wondering where Dan is coming up with the 300 dollar number to run a gear drive instead of chain drive

You can usually find a gear drive case for pretty cheap

THK Matt · « **Reply #579 on:** Jan 13, 2010, 07:26:01 PM »

I'd be scared of a chain case.... for when you slap the turbo stuff on.

the kit to add a gear drive to my chain drive is cheaper then adding two gear drives

oh, i guess i havnt looked into chain drive stuff that much. I have never had a truck with a chain drive case

what is the difference in the kit? you still need to buy a dual case adaptor no matter what. the only extra expense would be to find a used gear drive right?

ok, im just going to run dual gear drives, the adapter for the gear-chain drive is very long

pumkin toy · « **Reply #593 on:** Jan 14, 2010, 08:31:55 PM »

yeah dude! dual gear drive is the best way!

yjay · « **Reply #594 on:** Jan 15, 2010, 03:35:29 AM »

A friend of mine ran a gear drive crawl box with a 4.7 kit in front of a chain drive case in his Tacoma. He liked the shift on the fly for winter. He beat that fairly heavy x cab with a d44 front and lotsa armor like a rented mule without a problem. I think chain cases get an undeserved bad rap.

chain has a slightly lower gear set then a gear driven case

2.57 vs. 2.28

yeah but that's the only option you have with chain drive! cant install a lower gear set in them

crawlerdan · « **Reply #598 on:** Jan 15, 2010, 03:52:36 PM »

well, heres the plan, i will run the t100 chain drive case as is, stock.

im gonna get everything running and all the bugaboos worked out, because im pretty close to that point, about 1500.00 away to be exact.

then, when money permits, later this year, it will be dual gear drives.

there, how bout themn papples?

pumkin toy · « **Reply #599 on:** Jan 15, 2010, 06:27:23 PM »

them sound like some tasty apples!
