Hi Jon,
Here is a thought from the Northern South! You have a 4WD. Use it for what
it was intended for. If you want a rod, get a 2WD truck (or other vehicle)
to juice up. Unless you're looking for something different from the masses,
this would make the more sense.

Subject: DML: decision time....
i'd like to get the DML's opinion on these 2 choices I see for my dak....
I'll be rebuilding the motor in a turbo'd talon next week, so the dak will
no longer be my only means of transportation. Now the way I see it, I've
got to make up my mind :)
1) Remove the MPI manifold, build the 318 for max LOWEND grunt... perhaps a
360 swap for more lowend... rid myself of the street tires and jack her to
the sky :) I'm thinkin 33's at least, maybe 35's or 36's...
2) <original, more unique plan..> rebuild the tranny, race prepped. swap in
fulltime transfer case for AWD. lower the front end, flip the rear axle
(2"-3" drop all the way around). Build a 408 stroker with either a SuperC
or juice... probably juice at this point due to expenses...
either way I go, I figgure on 1-2 years for either project to be completed
since I'll have to build in steps... I'm leaning toward #1 since I'll have
the DSM runnin faster than a scalded dog anywho..
