Project XJ Crawler Update

[icb12]

Thats a good solid setup. It will come in a wee bit on the heavy side I think, but if you're not comp crawling it doesn't really matter.
What about sheet metal? Going to cover the tube chassis or leave it open tube?

Carb or FI? Carb you can run on straight propane, something to think about, the propane systems are awesome.

The 300 with teralow would be good. The 300 has a lot of clocking options if I remember right, so you should be able to get a nice flat belly and flat driveline angles.

What size tire are you thinking about?

yah im gonna need some sheet metal... but not a whole lot... just like a buggy...

i was prob gonna run FI... or try too... i also have access to a built 5.0L engine that i might consider putting in if i can get the adapter plates to mount it to the T350

i was gonna try and run at least 37's.. but would prefer 40's on beadlocks.. obvously with proper gearing and lockers

oh and im going 4 link rear 3 link front with coilovers... ram assist steering ect.

I love Ford, but if you use a 5.0 , you better change the oil pan. I locked up my 5.8 in my Bronco by just laying over on it's side for 5 minutes. Ford ( windsor) engines don't like laying on their sides.
