I have an 83 Scrambler (Iron Duke, T176/D300) and have two questions:
Drivetrain: I pulled the engine and replaced it with an AMC 304 today. I have the proper frame horns, but realized that I have to move the entire drive train back approximately one inch for the motor mounts and frame horns to line up. Is this common? Seems so because there are three sets of holes in the skid plate for the transmission mount bolts.
Drive Shaft Lengths: because of the issue above, my front shaft is now too short and I think the rear will be too long. I'd like to see if there are other stock drive shafts that will fit my new setup (304, T176/D300) before getting custom shafts made. Any idea what shafts/lengths would fit? And how do I measure drive shafts - compressed, extended, something else?
