Hey there everyone. I am just starting out a new build, this is my first restoration project ever. I am working with a 62 Scout 80. This will be a complete frame off from what I am gathering after doing a quick inspection. Here is what my plan is:
CPT 9" front and rears or D44s (haven't decided yet.
SBC 350
700r4
power steering coversion from Cherokee
4" lift and 35s on there
unsure if i should do a spring over or under
will likely run 4.56
column swap
complete rewire
new steering box
I am looking for any critique you all have for me as well as what else I should plan on for this build. I am brand new to doing this and have minimal experience. I do have a couple guy with quite a bit experience that are available to help. I am also in no rush to do this build. I have 2 sons that will help on this project with me. When I called to price out axles they told me i need to know things like pinion angles, driveshaft length, and a few other things. Given that this is my first build, this is all unknown for me. I appreciate all of the help and advice. I will be sure to post updates as I go.
