IIRC the nv4500 came with 29 spline output, so should be able to get an input for the 300.

Yeah, I linked the JB Conversions one a while back, waiting to hear if it will work.

The Advanced Adapters one is back ordered.

Cool build. This is quite close to what I currently have in the back of my mind to turn my current Jeep into.

Thanks. Next I'll be working on a in CJ tank fuel pump. I've used the JB Conversions one before, not sure it's worth the dough:

Gen III+ In-Tank Fuel Pump for Jeep CJ Universals, 1972-1986

Gen III+ In-Tank Fuel Pump for Jeep CJ Universals, 1972-1986

Also, the VIN for my 6L80E donor, to have my PCM programmed to match the year and expected functions, as a baseline to start tuning.

Got some time today, finished the front axle fab and put a fuel pump into the CJ7 tank.

Also, bought the rims for this, from patooyee - A bit more PBB feel for it.

You end up using the novak unit?

Yes, sort of... I bought one years ago for a 21g tank. I bought the new 20g sending unit from them and moved my pump over to it.

Bought Holley Terminator X to control the LS1 with a 6L80E. Interesting, in that they can cross Gen 3 GM engines with Gen 4 GM TEHCM's which are in the transmission's valve body.

Still waiting for the chassis to get out of paint prison.

Also, pulling apart a stock Dana 300, for the 32 spline input, new twin stick shifter rails, all new bearings, seals and a JB Conversions 4:1.

4:1 with the 6L80e 4.027:1 first gear?

What diff ratio?

For my commando (LV3/6L80e), I took 4:1 gears out of my d300 and opted for factory 2.62 gears because the 4:1 1st gear and 4.88 diff gears seemed right for crawling. Of course it's holding jackstands to the floor, so I don't know if I'll wish I had more than 51.5:1 (would be 78:1)

Right now, 4.10's and probably a 37" tire, since I went with 2" SOA springs.

Will probably end up with 4.88's.

Thing is, this is an east coast rig. Always want more gear here.

Want to sell your 4:1s? i have 5 D300's here to build.

East coast seems like you'd want more wheel speed? Maybe if I ever finish mine and you finish this, we can drive em next to each other and see

They look like someone poured salt water in the case filled it half way,then let it sit for a year. The tooth face for 1/2 the gear is corroded more than I'd want to sell to anyone.

My buggy runs 4:1 d300 gears, so I've tossed em in the corner as emergency spares.

With all 6 speeds of the trans available, I want more selection. Did I mention I have a TCI paddle shifter for this?

Plus I have them, so why not? If it doesn't work, I have other t-cases.

So how's this for sad? 06h3 talked me into building an Alpha 4L60E, with the funky oil pan and valve body to clear a drive shaft from the Dana 300... and then swapped in a 6L80E, talking me into doing that.

This 4L60E is built to handle 500hp/TQ with all billet shit... and I am not using it.


I did the AA adapter that puts the VSS onto the tail housing and a 27 spline input on the trans, with a clocking ring.
