Re: 350 in a m37

My thoughts on a 350 swap are (a) the 350 will snap the rear axle drive shafts for sure. That can be taken care of with upgrade chromoly axle shafts from Foote Axles. (b) I suspect that the automatic tranny is too long to fit. (c) power steering is doable with a Saginaw steering box. Check out Snake...

Re: tires and rims.

Food for thought...MRW (Marsh Racing Wheels) make rims to your specifications that match the 5 lug bolt pattern. A friend had them sized to mount HUMVEE tires and they work fine. $120 each.

Re: For those that have broken axleshafts...

Hi guys. Just want to let you know that I am ready to place another order with Foote Axles In Los Angeles for a batch of 5 pair axle shafts. The ultimate stress test was a couple months ago when I did a truck pull with my rig and the axles stood up 100% with Gama Goat wheels and a 383 Mopar. Check o...

Re: Rejuvenating rubber firewall grommets

Hi Justin.
I would consider windshield urethane glue over and around the grommet. It may well cover the cracks and give you a fresh seal. $20 a tube at Carquest. Alternatively ask for a spent tube at the glass shop. My 2 cents worth.

I still have a few reproduction axle shafts for sale for converted M37's. They were manufactured by Foote Axles and will handle V8 power and torque not to mention 4bt Cummins.

Hi there njjeep.

Re: New Selectro hubs coming in a few days!

I would like to know what you paid for them and where you bought them. Been sitting on the fence long enough.
Thanks,
