Its a 3.9 XT6 R&P, RX gear set, 1.59:1 low range gears in an RX case with FT4WD and diff lock. It pretty much rocks :headbang:

The only thing that kind of sucks about installing the transmission is that we had to kill the smoke stacks for now. I'll have to build them again later.

 

Yeah, that part sucked, but after 24 hours of continuous working, it was just :banghead: when the pipes hit the tailsection. Never even considered the FT4WD tailhousing wouldn't hit the pipes...

 

Great lessons learned from this project though :burnout:

Yes indeed. That was one long messed up build. I was talking out loud to nobody on my ride home. I was super loopy.:rolleyes:

Installing a frankenmotor (EJ25 block with EJ22 heads) with delta cams & I'm adding some power steering too. This should be fun.

 

 

Good-bye good old EA81 (over 300,000 miles and going strong).

Sooooo.... from what I can tell there is a difference in length on head bolts on the EJ DOHC & the EJ SOHC heads. I have head bolts for the DOHC heads and since the EJ22 uses a SOHC head you need to get longer head bolts. :wacko:
