I've pulled axel shafts out of semis and they are way bigger, granted they're semi trucks, but the axel shafts from a lmtv look slightly bigger than a pickup... The pumpkins look equal to a mid size truck so I'd think they would be ok but the axels would twist in half

Has this been done before? The axels that go to the spider gears aren't that big, but the 2:1 halves the torque going through it. Would it not be a weak spot if you got rid of the gears?

Just a test fit and there's definitely enough room for a floor mounted clutch pedal

I think Wes's suggestion with the double overdrive transmission is the way to do it, along with a hemtt transfer case. If I do that I wouldn't even need 3.07s to cruise at 65

Yeah, might not be the best way to do it. Looks like with my 13 speed I have with a T1138 I'd get a ratio of .63 combined which would be good for me. But at 2400 engine rpm the driveshafts will be turning 3779 rpm which is a little fast

Took another look at the Detroit today and it's way taller and wider than a 3116. (35 inches wide) But momma didn't raise a quitter. I think it'll fit if I cut out where the 3rd passenger sits and build it up. I'll get the Detroit pulled out this winter because the truck it's in needs to go to...

Man, the last thing I need is another truck lol. The idea is that I use what I have on have and not spend loads of money. I already have the engine and transmission Is this the same Bryce that sells loads of 3.07s?

That's an option, but I'd like to get a manual in there if I can. It'd be a blast to ride around in. I'd just need a linkage that reaches all the way back to the trans

That's what I thought too. Say the Detroit fits, how hard would it be on everything downstream?

I've thought about this and I may have to end up getting 3.07's in it to make up for that loss in gearing. I'll have to look at what's already in the ford to see if I can use it. I know you put a 350 big cam in one of your trucks, and there's another L9000 here with a big cam next to the truck...

I've been toying with this idea for a while now and been trying to do research if anyone has attempted an engine swap in a FMTV of any kind. I know lot's people swap out HMMVW engines all the time but found nothing on FMTV's. What: Detroit Diesel 8v71 318HP with manual transmission replacing...
