- '73 CJ5, 350, T18, D20, full width Dana 44 & 14 bolt w/ 5.13's. Leaf springs for the win.
Can it be done? I have found a Ford T18 for $100. I have a Close ratio 4.02:1 1st and would like the 6.32:1. I am aiming for a really low 1st year for crawling. I don't want to switch over to a Dana 300 to get the extra 4.0:1 vs the Dana 20 3.15:1. The cost of the Dana 300, adapter plate and gears make that not a financially sound swap if I keep my T18.
I suppose I could keep my eye out for a Wide ratio Jeep T18/300 combo but those come up for sale rarely and they are worth their weight in gold. As you all should know.
