Yikes!! My PTO cost me about 150.00 and is just as strong but has 3 times the slip yoke.

Really??? I'm still not impressed. Oh, well. We were talking about clocked 208's (which I have) anyway.

Doug K20 is that a factory tranny crossmember?

It looks just like the one I used in my sub-buggy. My 78 k5 with a 4 speed has the same one, a darn good factory piece I think.

Yeah, for my 350/400/208 combo. I found it satisfactory for my needs. Other than bolting on a skidplate, it was never altered. Too bad the exhaust is so ugly

Heres what I did over the weekend. My clocked and stuffed 241. No body lift, lots of cutting on the floor, custom crossmember.

Its pretty bad. I wish I had the coin for a better then stock CV. I did grind the stops down a bit since Im supposed to be going out this weekend. Going to lengthen my spare so that incase I do blow it I will still have a usable spare. Anyone know of any good junkyard CVs to look for?
If I did not grind it down it was binding just sitting there. Not too bad, but it was enough to make me grind away.
