Dave,
What do you expect top speed to be?
All things considered, what would be the top safe speed? Theoretically it would do about 70 with the gear ratio, sprocket size and expected rpm. Safe and sustainable, 30 to 40. Its all dependent on trail conditions or lack of trail, it could be 20. Depends on conditions.

Did the original have power to the front and rear axles? I see a transfer case in the new drivetrain that I didn't see in the old one....... I was looking for 2wd transmission like everyone has always ran in these machines. But then it occurred to me, Nobody wants 4x4 LS swaps so they are dirt cheap. Also, transfer cases have low range. The (forward output) won't drive anything, but it also won't hurt anything. For trail cruising with passengers I will use hi range 2 wheel drive. But if I have to pull a heavy load, I have low range. I was wondering about the T-case too, but now that makes sense......

Almost done Dave?
I've been sending the links to some relatives that are of the gearhead persuasion. They're impressed.
