4x4 L-series...???

[Justin]

So with winter coming up I'm beginning to dread the snow/chains situation,

so I'm wondering a few things about going 4X4 with the 521.

 

My main questions are:

What do I need to search out to keep the L series motor? (What else works besides a 1980 transfer case...?)

What kind of axles are preferred/useable?

Major pitfalls/complications?

What I'm I overlooking??

 

There's few things I like more than a dumped-out 521, but chains are such a pain! And I'd say lifted 4x4 521's are (almost) as cool...? And definately less seen.

 

Thoughts, knowledge, opinions, feedback!

Let's hear it!

Thanks!

:D

You've prolly seen this thread Justin, but here are some shots of one that was for sale by me a 9 mo ago.

 

I have no idea what it takes to get this stuff under there or what kinda stuff it is, But pics can't hurt!

You can do the same conversion that was done on the 620s back in the 70s. My 620 4X4 uses a Dana 20 transfer case (modified to divorced) and a Dana 30 front axle out of a Jeep.

you want a 521 4x4?

Buy one that is done already if it isnt junk.

 

buy a 720 4x4 or wait for a 620 4x4 to pop up.

It isnt worth the hassle to convert a 521 and still only worth 1500$

its not hard to do the conversion. i have a divorced dana 20 that i ran in my truck that i dont want any more if your interested. i run toyota running gear now. but it has the driveline piece that slide right into any datsun tranny. all you would need to do is find a front axle

Coods, You serious??

Where are you located, I might have to take you up on this...
