Re: i guess my kid can now be called crash junior..
I remember back in the day when I was 17, I had this sweet 1990 Thunderbird SC.... well it was sweet back in 1997 anyways... It was quite the opposite, every time I lent it to my mom It came back with a new ding or a scrape down the skirt on the side. I never wrecked either of my parents cars... but...

Re: axle swap questions
you can get a set of spacers/bolt pattern converters for the rear. They are machined aluminum and come in all different widths... I Run 1 1/2" spacers on the front of my toyota and have had no problems whatsoever, you should be able to get them to convert to 8 bolt. 1/2 ton axles will only be 5...

Re: Ring and Pinion Specs
You do not need to replace the bearings, but a thorough inspection is definatly reccomended, In my opinion it is worth spending the $200 on the bearings to ensure you are not going to have a problem 6 months down the line. I have made a few purchases from Ron's Machining service threw E-bay for Toyo...

What Country do you call home
Just interested to see what the breakdown is... I find most forums are either very American or very Canadian... or so on.
This site seems to have alot more diversity? so what is the breakdown?

Re: Post pictures of what swap you have done or seen!
Hey Rebel... dont worry about pics of your motor... Your Vette IRS photo in your signature says it all
as for me... I just can not seem to kill this 4.3.... thought it was pooched a couple months ago but the tick went away
It may be time for a drastic change.... diesel SAS maybe?

Re: AWD Front Differentials
Just make sure you take everything that you think you could need, plus everything that is attatched to that... or you could wait a couple weeks and find a 97 being parted... I see these vans being parted or sold for next to nothing all the time. also you may want to be a little skeptical of the cond...

Re: what year did the stro...
the dash swap is rumored to be next to impossible... way to much involved to be worth while, a couple people tried it back in the AS days. I believe the concensus was it would be less work to build one from scratch,

Re: AWD Front Differentials
If you are swapping in the complete unit I can not see you running into to many problems. check the part #s on the axle shafts, if they are the same it should be pretty straight forward. nothing changed internally in it ever and it only came with one set of gears.(according to http://www.precisionge...
