I've been collecting parts for my build and I really need to start putting something together. I now have for the chevy engine: nice roller cam, block, heads(if I don't buy aftermarket), intake, holley 670 pro-jection (which probably isn't gonna suit me so it may go up for sell). As for the rest of the jeep I've got SOA/shackle flip kit (in the bedroom), new/used 15x10 bullet hole lookin wheels, 35x12.50x15 buckshots, and...

I love the look of a full width axle, it brings a smile to my face every time. Ever since I've owned my wagoneer I've wanted full width axles. I picked up this cherry (more like rotten crusty apple)76 k5 blazer, it was on it's way to scrap and I decided to keep it alive for a couple more weeks to get what I want off it. The axles are: front d44, rear 12-bolt. I'm an engine guy not a drive line guy, if this would be a mistake to swap in please let me know. I'm the guy that runs exactly what he has, because I can't afford the good stuff. I wasn't sure how this compared to the d44 front and rear that's in the truck, especially the offset rear since I'm going back with a np208 should I have a more centered rear axle (just a thought). If for nothing else the look is worth it to me unless the stuff from the blazer is really super weak. My jeep will see a lot of mud, not so many rocks and also it'll will be on the road some too. Oh yeah and the engine as of right now will be at least a 383, but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve that I will discuss at a later date depending on what I decide. Any and all pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and if you're interested in anything off the blazer it's posted in the for sale section.
