I bought a set of super duty axles and decided to put them I a 1977 CJ. It came with a 350.

Here are the axles from a 2009 F350. I cut off the leaf spring mounts and painted the bare metal for now until I get a chance to truss the rear.

That looks like a fun project. Are you gonna upgrade that 350 at all?

Thanks man. I'd like to put a roller cam, headers and exhaust. Eventually convert over to EFI.

What about the suspension?
Coilover or stay with leaf springs

I plan on putting 14" coilovers all around. And do some major cutting on the tub as soon as I get them.

Just got my new diff cover today. Wasn't too sure when I heard it was aluminum but it's seems pretty beefy.

Had a minor surgery performed so I won't be able to work on it for a few weeks but that just gives me more time to research and order parts.

Thank you, I checked that thread and it will be a lot of help as well as Grubbicon's jk build too.

Didn't get a lot done today on the CJ but I got the stock diff cover off, gasket surface cleaned and the new cover put on.

I bought the axles before I bought my CJ and over looked the Ford super 60 being driver side drop and the CJ being passenger side drop. I decided to convert to driver side drop so I can still use that high pinion 60. I bought a new transfer case and it finally came a few days ago. A np241c with 32 spline input and a slip yoke eliminator is on the way.

Picked up a 700R4 and Chevy 305. I'm going to get rid of the engine or put it in my wife's 81 CJ7.
