please, and doesnt have to be cosbine power either, 2.8/2.9 granny...??

i thank you

ps i cant find the post someone put up, i looked through 20 pages...

 

If you use cossie stuff then only real issues i can foresee are the enlarging of the tunnel and the fact that you will need to do all the front end stuff like cutting half moons out for the driveshafts etc.

what specifically do you want to know?

 

cheers chip.

im doing the technical questions at the mo and a guy wants to fit 4x4 stuff, and on about using a granny donor car if the 4x4 sierra stuff wont fit.

and which is better out of the 2.8/2.9 sierras?

cheers

 

I think all the 4wd sierras use the same gearbox anyway mate TBH (mt75), but i dont know that for certain so i will duck out of this thread and leave someone who does to answer it instead, i wouldnt want to give you any wrong info!

 

cool, cheers mate

 

early 2.8 xr4x4 used type 9 boxes, i think its the rear end that will cause most headaches as they use a different set up from sierras, old cortina type rear axle i think??

 

Is the P100 on leaves then? :O

Although perfectly possible of course to maintain the rear end whatever it is, so its not really needed to swap it as part of the conversion, just a nice upgrade to do "while you are at it" providing you match the front diff ratio to the rear correctly.

 

yeah i think the rears are gonna cause most hastle and im pretty sure they are leaf springs.

cheers

 

rears are leafs. but maybe you could use something like a (modded) MK2 escort
rear linkage?
as they convert them from leafs to trailing arms with shocks
(just like richy chamberlins, fudge)

 

Yup, a leaf springed POS.

I got a 3dr here if you want mate

You going to that intro day at Future on Thurs? I was gonna but now im doing a night shoot for the Redline cover car in London so wont be there (be more likely asleep in a nice hotel ).

Hard life eh!

 

good thinking nobber

 

bastard

no, i gotta go tomoz morning mate.

 

There is no reason (other than handling) that you would have to remove the leaves if you 4wd it, perfectly possible to retain the leaves at the back and still convert it to drive the front as well.
