Started working on the Scout rebuild finally, so I thought I'd start a thread for it. I'm sure it will be a long drawn-out affair, but I'll try to keep the thread updated as work progresses.
I pulled the puny little D300 out last night. The next step is to mock up the 203/205 doubler using just the empty cases so I can figure out the new crossmembers. Looks like I'll probably be loosing that nice flat belly with the doubler... oh well, I'll have a little bit of a gut to go with my new fat ass.
The way I have the exhaust tucked up in there, I'm going to have to hack the exhaust off at the existing trans crossmember for now. Then I can bolt up the 203 range box and 203/205 adapter. With those figured out, I'll pull it all back out so I can pull the T19W and swap it with my other T19W built up with the custom mainshaft to drive the 203.
Once the 'new' trans is in, I'll stuff the internals back in the 203 range box and the 205 and bolt them back in. I want to get the t-cases installed first, so I will know where the output yokes are so I can set the pinion angles on the axles when they go in.
Here's the link to the rear axle that gave this build it's name.
