    International L122 B Binder Rat Build

    I vote for the same t350- The 700R4 would likely kick down into 3rd gear more often than you would like with that kind of rpm range even with the slightest change of resistance, and it would be dropping a gear. If your car is a common bolt pattern- you might try to experiment with some other...

    new tranny for my '68 240?

    You might start on the lookout for a t-5 if you want that overdrive. the 80's and 90's mustangs had them and the one I have out of a 93 S-10 is the ford bolt pattern. It might be worth a shot. The other advantage is that the ****er is in the tail shaft and there were 3 different positions...

    New member with '72 IH Travelall

    did someone say IH? I have had a dozen in the last ten years and there are more to come. As far as swapping yours to a 2wd, it is actually a piece of cake. all of the 4wd's had parallel leaves- shorter in length than the paralell leaf 2wd set ups. If you can get a dropped I beam front axle...

    It is muscle from 72, just not a car

    Here is the ride I just finished up, it isnt a car, far from it. It does have a 392 and a close ratio 4 speed :D Internationals are all that fits in at my house, so TRUE muscle cars are out of the question.
