Adam,
I was looking into this swap, but ended up scrapping it. Though, it
should be noted that it wasn't because of viability. Other 'things' came up
(read 'of the opposite gender'). I am curious about your desire to use the
Muncie 420. I had trouble locating one at all. They were built a LONG time
ago. Around here at least the SM-465 is much easier to locate but still
isn't a piece of cake. Sure, you get a slightly lower 1st, but I am told
the 420 is simply far less 'friendly'. Louder and more clunky etc.
I am a little more curious about your calculations though. 95 MPH @
3000 RPM? Unless I am messing the numbers up this is what I get with this
set-up:
SM-420
Ashcroft High Range LR case (0.871 High)
4.10 Diffs
33" tires
=3436 RPM @ 95 MPH (152 KPH)
If there is something wrong with my calculations let me know. I was making
a lot of decisions based on them. I have an Excel spreadsheet laid out that
I would email you if you like with a number of transmission/transfer case
options.
