Ok I am going to take a chance and open this up for opinion. I know everyone will have their own opinion as to what I should do but lets not get carried away.
Basically I am interested to see if anyone is running a similar set up. Originally my buggy was built around an all toyota drivetrain. 22re with turbo 5 speed trans backed up by a toyota doubler with 4.7's in the front box and stock rear box. I was very happy with how the buggy preformed as it was. However I guess I needed a project and when the 22re finally let go I decided on a motor swap instead of a rebuild.
So now... I have everything in place and mocked up running a SBC 350, with a turbo 350 automatic trans adapted to the toyota doubler. Is anyone run this set up or know anyone who does?... im still in an early enough phase of the project where i can make changes. Anyone foresee any big problems? should the crawl box stay or go? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
