Ok thanks very much for the info once again. honestly i have been looking and doing research on alot of crate motors and i foundone that i am leaning heavily towards putting into the K20. it is a 383 stroker with 380HP and 418ft/lbs of torque. it is also an excellent price. as for the axles i did not know that the newer chevys were IFS. i know i need a solid axle 4x4 to take the parts from and i have been doing alot of research and find that most newer ones are coil suspension. i dontknow if it is of any consequence to whether i can use it or change it or what not. i am trying to learn about axles cause i know i ask you guys alot of questions about them. i have told by many folks on here that my best option for the front axle would be a dana super 60. good all around axle. are the rear axles something different or are they dana 60's as well? that is still a little hazy to me. i was thinking of taking the T/C and axles from a shift on the fly 4x4 but since they are vacuum powered i dont know if that is very doable or not. just a neat thought worth exploring. i dont mind manually locking my hubs. so the ford axles will be close enough to work for axle swaps. that is great to know. what ford axles are they? what models do they come from?
sorry for so many questions. trying to learn and get this truck planned out most of the way before i get home from this deployment. thanks guys
Jonathan
