for my YJ/CJ/Ford/Chev
4.0

Scoutdude has been kind enough to give me a bit of info on this proticular swap via e-mail. After much searching and quite a bit of reading I have finally come to the conclusion that I should just ask in order to find specs more directed to my needs. first off I'd like to have 60's but don't have the dollars.. so deal with it. I don't want to flip the t-case... way too much dollars. I understand that the chev d44 may be my best way to go (73-77). I like the idea of using a ford 9" and will for sure convert to discs. I got the diferentiating from 8" to 9" down pat. my questions are as follows:
1. can I use a sscout d44? Is it pas dump?
2. If I use the chev d44 and 9" will they be different widths?
3. When swaping the chev d44 over to 5 lug to match the rear what is the most cost efective Part# or model and year for the bearing spindles and rotars
4. What year f150 rotars should I get for the 9" disk conversion and do I have to use ford, they are way over priced
5. I may very well have a line on a Lincon 9" with discs already in it, would this be any good for my swap. ie. lenth & bolt pattern, is it a good deal for 350$ can. providing the calipers work.
6. When I was looking around the scrap yard yestarday I was almost sure that it was a 9" in a Nisan or Mazda er somethin (only the back was left) is this possible?
7. What about gears, I have decided that I won't wory about trying to match them from the yard instead just buy them aftermarket and deal with the cost. my question is, are they avalible for the above listed axles in the same ratios?
TRANNEY Q:
1. I want to convert my existing mechanical clutch to hydrolic. Is this possible?
2. I saw something about an Iron Duke having a slave cylinder that bolts in. Is this true?
Thanks fer yer help in advance
P.S. not newbie... new to this board....
