Good to know. It's been so long since I briefly looked at it is foggy.

I should have checked rock auto. I was just thinking to keep as many factory parts as possible and may get the 94 dakota crank if it's possible so either that crank can be used or use that to get...

Last question hopefully. the dakota with the 2.5 and ax14, does that have a factory pilot bearing for the crank since it is rwd?

Awesome. Thank you very much. the ar5 is basically an r154 which makes sense that it takes a tacoma clutch. Thank you again.

Hello everyone. It has been a very long time since posting, but have been considering an engine swap for my bmw e36. Yes I know there is the ls1/2jz route, but already been down that path with...

bump for an update

any progress with any of the AWD projects?

What is the backspacing on those or do they only come in one size? Great progress with the build BTW

Thanks for replying so quick.

Anymore info on this setup by chance?

The other thing too is that if you have access to a truck, you can rent a trailor from u-haul for a decent price and can drive it down yourself. If you need welding done in Columbus, Alex from BPA...

I would give Dyno Tune Motorsports in Columbus, Ohio a call. Brian is very well respected in the local area and works on just about everything.

Please do not take this the wrong way, but pass on the hood scoop.

It happens to the best of us. I pushed back all work on my project car until next spring due to moving. For me, there isn't any point of breaking the bank to get a car that isn't running at the end...

any update on progress for the motor?

great info guys. So basically if the rear gearing is the same as stock, it wouldn't interfere with normal operation of the coupler regardless of what car its from?

I was under the impression that there are vacuum solenoids for the cable speedo rear that control whether the rear is engaged or not. That is why I am asking. If the rear distribution of power is...

Maybe I missed it, but if you fabricated the strut turrets/towers by scratch, what gauge sheet metal did you use? If you started with a flat sheet, what all did you use to get the curves? Something...

So lets say that you were able to get the correct gear ratios, with the diff always putting power to the rear tires will that cause premature wear?

I could be dead wrong on this and I am just throwing an idea out there, why not just use the complete rear setup from on eclipse awd donor car?

good to know. I will be curious to see what you have planned.

I know that Carlos had a full running l-body awd conversion along with a few vans that did a 5 speed conversion. Has their been any recent successful AWD conversions? Im in no way to the point of...

Thank you for giving consistent updates and I have been lurking your thread for sometime. I may have missed it, but did you figure out a timing belt yet? How about the cam gears in combination with...

I am just tossing a random idea out there. Why not run a 1 piece drive shaft straight off the PTU and replace the rear with a ford 8.8? Will it cause too much binding?

thanks for the info everyone. I dodged a major bullet. Luckily I caught things before it got ugly. Apparently when the transmission computer sees that when the mph doesn't match what gear you are...
