OK let's get this out in the open, this is for my '69 Jeepster Commando (I don't know anything about Toyota's). :sealed:
OK now that all the cards are on the table I need some advise.
My project Commando has a 225 V-6 engine and will be backed up with a SM420 tranny. I will need a adapter to mate this to any transfer case I decide to run and I started to lean towards a Toy case because the adapter prices are about the same what ever my decision will be. I would like to eventually evolve into a stacked system and what I have see so far from the older case iron x-cases doesn't look clean and very bulky also the cost looks to be outragous for these.
On the other hand:
The toy cases stacked look nice, clean, and seem to be a fraction of the cost. Also upgrades are just silly cheap compaired to my other jeeps stuff.
This is what I need advice on:
1) My Jeep buddy's tell me that the toy cases won't hold up to the 225 buick engine (or the 4.3 EFI I plan to put in later on). Is this true???
2) I won't be stacking the cases right away and need to know if I should pick up a turbo case now and a standard case later? Or should it be the opposite? A buddy can get me a 87' turbo case for $250.00, is that a good deal???
3) Upon doing a case search I am getting questions asked like: Carb or EFI? Model and year? What is the best OEM for my search?
4) One last question. Are toy cases known to hang a litte low? I saw the write-up with a toy case in a jeep and it looked a little low to me, is that just the down side to toy cases or was this set-up just not tucked up enough???
Thanks for all the advice
