So the CJ8 Scrambled build is moving along and I had a quick opportunity the other day to open up the AMC 20 rear. It is a mess. Instead of spending money on rebuilding that rear..I found a Ford 9 with 3.50 gear set with wheel to wheel back spacing at 54.5". Owner didn't know what it went under but there are spring perches so I am assuming pickup or early Bronco. Price was reasonable. Are there any issues I would face modifying this to go under the 8.
I also want to source a WT 30 and put my 3.54 gear set in that. I know they are not the same ratios but my mind tells me that the difference would not create stress if just used on dirt roads. Bad Idea? Never really played with gear sets to know any better and eventually the front or rear ratio would be changed to be the same. In put is appreciated.
