I would like to know your thoughts about a engine(Dodge V8) swap that anyone might have done also.
The advantages and disadvantages of the replacement of the 230.
What are the weak points of the drive lines?
I know that Helitool puts out a nice adapter kit and all the necessary brake components that you need to stop these trucks.
I for one don't need the speed of a hot rod, I kind of like the slower speeds that these trucks produce, even thought I've just installed the 4.89 gears. What's the top speed with these gears anyway?
Just something that I've been hashing over.
1. Value of truck with and with out conversion.
2. Problems that I may run into after conversion?
3. How do you like V8 on the trails and high way?
TIA
