Yes, I'm on your list. The 400 SB is a bolt-in totally reversible retrofit (as is the Chevy big block).

Probably no harder on the axle shafts than the big block Chevy that I put in my 37 about 45 years ago. The bbc has given the 37 a considerable improvement in driveability in the mud, and axles have not been a problem so far, knock wood. I would hope that the 400 would have a similar effect...

I tend to like the tread design on the IROKs for sentimental reasons. They remind me of the old directional Firestone Super All-Tractions I used to run. I'm having trouble deciding between the I-810 (13.5x39.5-16.5) and the I-815 (14x42-16.5). Any thoughts about choice regarding clearance...

There were 192 built. 11 that still exist (maybe 12). I've owned this one for 42 years. Both are reasons why I specified a completely reversible installation.

My brother is fixing to junk an old Chevy pickup that has a freshly overhauled 400 small block in it. I'm thinking about pulling the 230 out of my 708 and doing a fully reversible installation of the 400. It would be an even easier install than the big block Chevy that I put in my 37. No...

That's right.

They are 5.83's, if I remember correctly. Not 5.89. Did it back in the early 1970's before the days of video and didn't take any 8mm film either. No way in h*ll would I ever do it again. That big block Chevy was really screaming, and I was scared spitless that the windshield was going to...

True, if you are building highway trucks. I've had a big block Chevy powering my stock 5.83's since the late 1960's, and have never regretted it, nor ever seen the need for higher gearing. My 37 has been up over 110 mph, but I find it quite uncomfortable at over 70, for reasons that have...

Yes, anyone skilled in radiator repair can do it easily.

Move the inlet to the other side.

I built mine out of steel sheet stock. Doubles as a roll cage. I do a lot of fiberglass work, but prefer steel for this.

Have you considered building a hardtop, using your soft top frame as a jig?

Belt'd still slip when wet.

Looks and acts a lot like Kydex. I don't know if it is, but Kydex would be the perfect material for this type of project.

KA-114 is flying.

What's better about the gear ratio? The 5.83's will already go faster than I am comfortable with.

What's the advantage of the Dana axles over stock?

I put a big block Chevy in my 37 about 45 years ago. Live in the South and have used the stock radiator since then without heating problems.

I used to have one in a 1954 Chrysler Windsor. They were good engines.

Me too, Angus. My foster bother gave mine to me for my 20th birthday in 1962. It isn't stock, but he also gave me an XM708 for my 30th, and it is.
