I picked up an 88 f-250 with the 351 5spd trans, not sure what t-case is yet. Have to get under it to I.D. it. I also got some dana 60s off craigslist im putting under my ranger, im running these axles full width attatched to 38 inch meats with leafs in the rear and a 3 link in the front.. I know i have to change the d-shaft length, but i have no idea yet. I heard 351s have cooling issues when put into RBVs. Is there any truth to that? If anyone is planning a swap like this in about 5-6 months I'm doing mine then and I will be submitting tons of pictures and noting things that i do and any snags i run into. Since I've been away from my truck since September i have been doing as much research as i can and planning things, but is there anyone that can put in their .02 or some other things i may not know???
