The other thing that won't work too well is the 3.73 gear with 35 inch tires. 3.73's will work fine with 28 inch tires, but you will need 4.88 gears to compensate for the 35's. Matter of fact, with any kind of a cam that will support the whole mess, you'll need 5.13 gears and a 3500 stall converter. You haven't seen "TURD" until you drive a 4WD truck with 35's, 3.73's and a stock torque converter, particularly with the cam you'll have to use with 10.6:1 SCR.
Looks like a totally fubar'd plan to me.
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
