Yeah Erik, I had laid out a bunch of case options a couple months ago. 300 with 4:1 was one of my options I was considering. Went this route because it was the cheapest and easiest :) Only concern about the 20 is no option to upgrade the front output but I can't find anyone having issues with the fronts. Found a guy locally who can cryo treat, decided against it for now.

Ahh. Missed the switch to the 20.
Sounds like same as 300 front output... not many guys having issues there.

20 has been in behind my doubler for a few years now. Picked it all up as a unit. Much easier to just swap the output and keep going haha

they are pretty tough until you start throwing the weight of the truck on rocks with a square driveshaft.

i think i only broke one front before.

The research I did was on Bronco 20s. I know they are not internally identical, though I don't know if there is much difference in strength.

Oh wow I didn't see the pic the first time. What were you doing when they failed? I have read about people making HD inspection plates to strengthen case. Looks like that could have helped except I still see missing teeth

Dan came over tonight and we got started on the front end cage stuff. Everything else will be hidden behind the fenders and tie into that piece and the stiffeners. Will make an engine cross bar with flanges. Credit to Dan for this idea, fits mint.

Looks like a clean spot to stick that tube.
