Too much power for the MT?

[noyb98098]

I wanted to know what you guys thought on this... I currently have this http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.4498/.f in my Baja and over the weekend I seized the engine from running it to lean which is foricng me to get a new headkit http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.4141/.f . SO I decided to take the engine from the baja with the new headkit and drop it in the MT, my question is will it be able to handle it? Take in consideration I'm going to do the switch to the PRO-Line wheels as well, as much as I like the MT tires it seems they are some of the problem with the diff cups breaking.

no problem, most here are running 28.5 and 30.5, some with ported motors. Just make sure you temper your diff cups, tempering seems to work...no one seems to have broken one yet even with MT tires

Sweet, good to hear. I have a full set of NITRO's hardend ones that I haven't installed yet, guess this gives me reasont to put them on!

I'm running the Big Dog 30.5 esp...the MT handled just fine...of course i got rid of the crappy oversized tires too.

Actually, after seeing the pic's of yours with that f150 body I was sold on the smaller tires. Did you have to do anything different to get that body to fit?

 

[Lizardking]

nope....fit just fine.

I remember seeing that, is this the only known case that's been talked about?
