Re: 86 Chevy K30 Cummins Swap

Well, my only argument about the 29 spline being a weak link is that the dodge currently has a 29 spline and why fix what isn't broke? If it does turn out to be quite difficult and just as expensive to find a working round pattern dodge np205, then I agree just build it once, and get the 32 spline setup.

HOWEVER, 72longhorn while I hear you on the axle swap... I'd have to rebuild the entire gear setup as the dodge dana 60 has 353's(I believe) and my build will have 410 gears. Not to mention the added time and fabbing required to get rid of the coil overs and revert to the leaf springs... TOO MUCH for my taste.
