Hey guys.
I'm restoring a 76 swb and stumbled accross this forum so I thought I would throw some questions out there. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
So what's the best way to go with a 5spd? I read another thread, a Marks gearbox sounded popular but another guy suggested a cruiser box bolted to the back of the motor so as to use the cruiser clutch, bell housing and transfer case.
Basically after people's opinions and any issues involved with the change over.
The other thing I would like to do is put an mk/mq disc brake front end in. I've read that all you need is the diff, master cylinder, springs and the front mounts have to be brought out 10mm. Apparently this all bolts in without dramas?
Can you use a mk/mq Rear diff also? Because I would love a limited slip diff and the ability to run front and rear air lockers.
I have thought it might just as easy and as costly to buy another swb patrol from 1980 to 1995 and just do a body swap. Then I've got the possibility of having the 3.3 or 4.2ltr turbo diesel.
Thoughts?
Cheers guys
