**New Slayer Build**-- New Pics 06-27-09

mudslayer2008 · June 17, 2008, 06:41:55 AM

I just got the slayer from 454jeep and I am going to finish it for the mounds or what ever else we can run in.
heres what I got for it so far:
5.7 liter 350 chevy engine approx. 20,000 miles on it (have Edelbrock alum. performer intake w/ carter 650 carb)
400 turbo 4x4 trans mounted to a 203 t-case
3 core radiator
electric fan
3/4 ton axles (Drumbrakes was on there when I picked it up)
My plan is to make it a four seater from a two so my family can all go. So I have fab work to do.

Ok I need help with this part the axles on it are four wheel drum so the year of the axles are

Does any one know if I can put disk on the at least the front axle. It is a dana 44 with a closed u-joint ( basicly there is a ball around the u-joints ) or how would I put a driveshaft or diff. brake on it?

I may need my driveshafts cut to fit so if you know anyone to do it cheap let me know.
I will also need some tires and rims (prefer 35's or bigger)
I also need some type of seat for the rear either two buckets or a rear seat out of a small suv ( jeep, s-10 blazer, bronco II, ect) you get the picture. Let me know what you have and what you want for it

Any comments or advice you have will be welcomed. Thanks
I'll try and post some pics when I get more into the build.( Before and after)

eroq does drive shafts and you should be able to put pinion brakes on it

Nice project! Definately a good start. I have a rear seat floating around here somewhere thats out of a Sami or Tracker, small but should work for 2 kids. May have 1 out of a CJ7 too.

12 Barley pops.

I sent you a pm.

mudslayer2008 · June 25, 2008, 03:28:28 AM

Ok I'll give ya'll an update I got my tires and rims 35-12.50-16.5 bfg mud terrain t/a's I found a radiator that will fit in the front with a little help. I got the seat for the rear ( full size blazer seat )
I will be swaping out the front ( old dana 44 w/drum drakes ) axle for a 10 bolt out of a 3/4 ton saburban ( Need lockouts for it though ) I've been getting alot of parts around and stocking the in the barn I havn't really been putting it together though wife says I need to get the first project done first ( finishing the basment ). I should be working on the slayer in a couple of weeks I got two weeks off starting next week ( gm shutdown ) so I should get the basment done then.
I'll keep ya'll posted and get some more pics up when I actualy start working on it once I start it wont take long to get it done I have most of the parts I need I just need the lock outs for the front axle now. If any one has any f/s at a reasonable $$$ please let me know.

mudslayer2008 · June 25, 2008, 03:50:57 AM

I also need a set of sbc headers if anyone has any cheap please let me know Thanks Gary.

TopFist · June 25, 2008, 05:17:34 PM

I've got a set. $50

mudslayer2008 · July 08, 2008, 12:07:25 AM

Pulled the engine, trans, and t-case from the donor truck today. I got my headers on saturday (Thanx again 454jeep) still got to get the engine and trans mocked up to use my front drive shaft (as is. No shorting) But before I do that I got to do my front axle swap. by the way things are going and my budget going quick this thing may turn into a all winter project. But I'd rather take my time and do it right than hurry up and slap it together and have things brake the first time out.
