It is the problem with the 60/65.  I really think its just a matter of when not if at your kind of power levels.

I reckon it will be loud, but there are ways to quieten it down to pass    I put the Varex on the back of mine, good piece of kit actually, at least leaving a cruise or whatever you have the ability to quieten it down if the boys in blue are around.  They do sound awful when they are shut though.

Interesting, very cool.

No worries, good plan.  You engineering this, looks like its gonna be loud?

You reckon there is any chance they are more or less testing to see how they sell, and if demand is there they will start to play around with upping the power etc?

Mate that looked and sounded stout as, nice pass, love it and congrats!!

Is it usual to go under the diff?  Btw apologies so long since I have owned a live axle car!!  And yep, you are going to love changing the #8 plug the first time you do it….

Its getting exciting…..

So IJ, a thing I have been wondering, could you more or less (with your skills of of course) adapt that transfer case to any box, even a manual?  Is that how it works, is it simply an inline intermediate gear set to drive the front prop shaft?

Agree 100%

J who??

Poor mans trans brake ha ha

If there isn’t I will ban him!!!!

Nice work mate, thanks for the post.

^nice work, you mind posting that link to the workshop manual as  separate thread in the Tech Articles etc section

Vert neat and methodical work as usual mate, very nice!!

I reckon my next purchase is a lift table like that

I reckon a lathe is the single best machine you can have if you step up from regular garage tools.  Mine is a little baby compared to IJ’s but they are just so useful.  They do jobs that you can’t do any other way.

Nothing creative you can do re the front diff ratio?
