I guess I should finally start a build thread. I have been lurking on this site for the last couple of years and was lucky enough to find a scrambler here in Michigan that was not rusted out. I have had the scrambler for about 2 years. When I bought it it had a 304, 4 speed transmission, dana 300, AMC 20, and dana 30. It was sitting on a 4 inch superlift with 33 inch tires. I drove it for a year trying to decide what I wanted to do for a motor swap. I finally decided to go with a 2009 5.3 out of a Tahoe with about 90k on it. I am putting a ax-15 behind it and keeping the dana 300. Came across a craigslist find and ended up with a dana 44 for the front and rear. The front had been narrowed and had one flat top knuckle already on it. so plans got modified and decided to go with high steer set up. So far I have gotten the 304 out and the 5.3 mounted. I currently have the front axle removed and working on putting the front 44 under it. The lift I decided to upgrade and go with BDS 2.5 wide springs and 4" and keep with 33 inch tires. I have reached out to a few of the members on here with questions and greatly appreciate the feed back and help.
