who all has a d300 in there bigger than a cj rig?

[malodin]

i am running th400 in mine and have no clearance issues whatsover and my d300 is almost perfectly flat up inside the frame rails.

[Lindel]

I think Sambo has one in his rig too. He does some fairly serious wheeling in NM and Tx.

X2 with mine.

The D300 doesn't clear a TF727 tranny pan unless you have a pencil thin front driveshaft.

i have had mine in for just over 2 1/2 yrs now and i love it!
but i would also love to add 4-1 tp it! havent broke anything worth bragging about,cept a tranny mount(which was old anyway)
i highly recommend putting them into t400 equipt rigs

i used the novak kit which is part@ 134-a i believe...well worth the money!!!

[Mahamotorworks]

I want to get a D300 and use it when I finally brake my QT. I will have some time before that happens.

Sambo, Nice to see you post up. I was begining to think the dana 300 was dominated by the 36 inch and under club. I may have to re think my thoughts of the dana 300 not being strong enough for the long haul in our rigs. Glad it is working out for you. I just have seen 5 of the dana 300 break in the CJ rigs I wheel with. Granted they are running 350's and 454's built heavyly and big tires (40's). That kind of experience does not make me feel confident in putting it in my heavy rig.

[Sambo]

well i am not afraid to pull a winch line...not that i wus out on anything its just i havent had much i couldnt crawl,at least locally anyway!
remember i am still running a stock 360 so i dont have a crap load of power..."just enough"
i try not to get into a bind,altho from time to time i do get throttle happy
i have seen a couple of them go thru some shock loading(wheel hops) and then explode!

[Slick Willie]

So Sambo, you have stock (not 32 spline) outputs and stock gearing in it? Just checking the facts.

[Sambo]

yes i am running 2.61 gearing and 26 spline outputs still !

[matt thompson]

i just put one in my grand wag, haven't driven it yet, but i was afraid of front drive shaft hitting the tranny(727). i put a front driveshaft up to it and it looks like it will clear the pan. Granted I do have a SOA in the front. I might have to limit up travel on the pssgr side we'll see...also I will have to re-route my exhaust because right now it's in the way. Best part though, it bolts directly up to the stock adapter.

[malodin]

looks good, i have been running mine around the yard and over logs for the past month so far no problems.

[dusty]

got another one.... 440 727 in a Gagoneer witha D300, motor tranny and tcase installed in a 1978 waggy all installed in 1990 running 35's 4.56's and never seen a nice day. he sheared the rear output two years ago in a truck pull at the mud races. so last i heard he installed 32 spline tail housing and is back at it mud racing and pulling.

tf727 & d300



if you are planning on running this set up and a front chevy soa d44, a scout(automatic trans) front driveshaft is a perfect fit.

I use a D300 in my one tone J10. Has a Cummins 4BTA with pump mods, bigger injectors, turbo, etc. I have the 32 spline input to mate it to a NV4500. It then feeds a divorced 205. I have the hi low sticked only as I use it as a gear splitter.

But 450 ft/lbs of torque at 1500 rpm x 2.61 x 1.96 x 4.10 in the Dana 60 and 70 equals lots o driveline twist
