Hey, the transmission's a Muncie SM420, right?

Do you know the rear gear ratio?

14", you don't have PMs so I'm just going to drop this in here and maybe some other Washington folks will also chime in. ExplodingSims, hope you don't mind, I just wanted to make sure Dick sees it.

I'm going to be in Washington over Christmas, and since I'm coming up pretty empty here in NM it might be a good time to try and find a 280ZX transmission. Can you recommend any salvage yards? I'd be willing to pay a bit more at a place that pulls the parts themselves so I don't have to lay in the December rain as a rusty Datsun slowly pushes my jack into the mud. If I can get a couple candidates, I can contact them now and see what they've got.

I think my dad has a 5-speed T5 from a 280z or zx in our storage unit of datsun parts. No idea if it works, but there is a 280 transmission in there somewhere.
In sacramento, which may or may not be on the way. We also have a grave yard of s30 parts.

Edit: I'm 99% sure he'd be willing to part ways with it for a reasonable price.

It was mentioned earlier in the thread, but I'm pretty sure it's a 4.10.

So I suggested to Dave and asking the people of ai. If we replace the thermo fan with just an old style flex fan that would probably solve clearance issues but what about the engine with Tbi? Would a constant fan over cool the engine?

So long as the thermostat works, I wouldn't think so.
or put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator if you're worried.

Thanks! I was using a gear ratio calculator to see what the truck's driveline was theoretically capable of. According to internet voodoo math, the truck can reach 95mph at around 3600rpm. 55's 2000rpm.

Just fit a junkyard electric fan and run it off a manual switch in the cab or make sure that the engine mounts are solid and don't brake suddenly.

Run the math for a 5.20 rear end 4.10 seems ridiculously low for the size of the ring gear.

Also if I may suggest a final ride height.

When I was on my way back to Chicago from Florida, a the humidity hosed up my electronics and a deer tore off my windshield wiper.
First I couldn't stop because the fans wouldn't work and I'd overheat, then it started raining and I had to stay above 75mph, otherwise the rain would stick and obscure the windshield. It's like being a shark, move or die

I made it ~600 miles like that, I'm sure that the truck should be able to do the same

If you still have the pumpkin apart it should say it somewhere, maybe?

For 5.20 rear 55mph is 2700rpm, and 95mph is 4500rpm.

What's the redline for a L05?

According to the book it's either a 6.17 or a 5.43.

5.43 is about 100rpm higher for both speeds. 6.17 puts 55 at 3100 and 95 at 5400. I would hope that it has the 5.43 gearing, but given that it was used for heavy haulage, 6.17 seems more likely.

This is all assuming 37" tires by the way, and ignores weight.

Am I out of my mind or do I remember it having an overdrive or a two-speed rear-end or some such?
