Re: Millwright71's A108
you need your old drive shaft to get cut down and rewelded.

Re: Millwright71's A108
ok, did they have the slip yoke? another thing, do you have headers if so were did you get them and did you have to make them work i was looking at a set for a 68 dart 318 and thought they would fit,

Re: Millwright71's A108
I did not run the headers .Thinking they would produce more heat than a exaust manifold but i've heard it both ways. i'm supprised no one has told us what works. althou you can call sumitt racing and see what they have to offer. maybe repost the question again...

Re: Millwright71's A108
I am running manifolds too, since they are the center dump style, I have always heard they flow pretty close to headers anyway. I will be getting the clutch kit, flywheel machined, and the driveshaft done at Fort Wayne clutch on Tuesday. They built a custom 5" aluminum shaft for a Suburban I had years ago, it was very nice.

I was lucky enough to find a jeep shaft with a slip yolk at the boneyard for cheap and just had it balanced (at least, that's all I remember having done to it).

Driveshaft
Remember the 108 series driveshaft is alot longer than the 100. I just looked up a TJ shaft on ebay, they look like they would definitely fit on a 100.

Re: Millwright71's A108
One wheel base is 90" and the other is 108", so I'd imagine the difference in driveshafts would be 18". Can't remember any other details about mine that would help you out.

Progress
I took the driveshaft to be modified today, picked up the clutch kit, and did some assembly of the 318. She will be going back in tomorrow.

Progress
I got a little more accomplished yesterday. I installed the modified driveshaft, installed the carburetor and linkage, new fan and clutch (I test fitted the front of the doghouse and it looks like it will clear) and the exhaust system. I am still trying to find out which, if any headers will work best.

Headers
My only concern with those is how low they would hang? I have seen a header on a first gen chevy and you could see the pipe hanging below the van from a distance. I am leaning towards a set of block hugger style.

Re: Millwright71's A108
I got her running again today, the front of the doghouse is epoxy primed and back home. The clutch fan I put on clears by a little over an inch.
Installed the battery box, and all new cables as well.

Re: Millwright71's A108
Sorry I don't have any pics of my progress yet, but I am knee deep in trying to fix the lower two hinges on my side doors. The pins are broken and seized in. I have one drilled out and replaced, working on the second.
