Eric, I'll keep you informed as I go along and some areas are better with some assistance especially some on the early steps of assembling the lower end, so I'll see if you're available when I get there.
Do you know what gears you have in the Diffs? I wouldn't make a chance until after this build but knowing is a good idea. I went from 3.29 to 4.88's when I went to 35's (plan on 37's) I lost a bunch of top speed at low rpms but gained crawl control and torque overall. If I was to stay at 35's then I think 4.10's would be the right gear ratio.
Yep, I have 4.10 and I was thinking the same. I knew I wanted to stroke my LJ, so I wasn't going to change anything until then before I made that decision.
I would love to learn how to do this, and would like to come by the garage, and help, or watch.

4.10 w 35s is great on flat land but a dog in the hills and mpg takes a huge hit.
