I believe I know what shitstorm I am about to undertake but in the end it'll be fun and worth it... I hope. This is my first time doing this swap. My only previous transmission / clutch and transfer case work has been on my '66.
Patient is a '94 LWB with the ZF and a siezed B/W txfr case and the original 4.2.
Donor is a '94 D1 with a blown 3.9 with a rebuilt R380 and the LT230Q from a '98 D1 (was that the year they switched from the "T" suffix to the "Q"?). I am going to remove everything from the donor this weekend and have a few questions and want to confirm I am grabbing everything I'll need.
Planning to remove for swap:
- Trans / txfr
- Pedal box assembly
- Clutch master and all piping
- Flywheel from the 3.9
- All linkage
- E-Brake brackets and cables
- Mounting brackets
- Brake Booster / MC?
How about the front and rear shafts as far as length differneces? I did a bunch of searches already and see that Randall has been a great wealth of info on this in the past, Tiger Dan did it, Elias did you do this yet and Will and PT too? I know this is not new ground but it is to me so I'm going to dive in this weekend and check out the real differences between the pedal box assembly of the '94 D1 and the '94 RRC and take a bunch of measurements concerning the drive shafts to pinion flanges. Also the mounts... I assume these will need to be repositioned?
Any tips and info will be greatly appreciated. Gordo, you might have to make a drive into Orlando soon to "supervise". I'll take pics and such along the way... Thanks everyone.
