Ok folks what kind of HP would you guess a dana 30 front axle can with stand, for on road use (no offroad)??
so a bit more to the story, some of you may find this to be sacrilege but hey so be it, to each their own lol
My new project is building a drag jeep, 97/01 hybrid TJ. I'm currently building up a 5.3 LS1 with a Borg S475 turbo, Ford 8.8 rear end swap. So the ford 8.8 rear has 3.73 gears as does the Dana 30 front axle, but I don't have the $$$ (at the moment) to swap in a Dana $$ front, it's all in the motor and the resto of the TJ. So curious as to if I even hook up the front drive shaft for now or just leave it off until I can afford the 44 front? Keep in mind this jeep will never see any offraod use
And a disclaimer before the Flame police show up, which I'm sure they will and i'm ok with lol. I have done the offraod mud thing already and wanna do something different. In another life I had a '00 Sahara with 4" suspension lift, 2" body lift, Warn front and rear bumpers with 8k lb winch and 35 x 14.50 thornbirds. SO been there done that and you can now flame away
