Ashcroft can build the taper roller models with the 1.003:1 ratio.

So, we saying that a 1.003:1 with taper roller bearings, and the fancy Truetrac style center diff would handle the Cummins..... Just bolt it behind it and see I guess!!

There is already at least one 6x6 landrover in the UK with a cummins 6BT and LT230.

Do you know how much power and torque a LS1 makes?

Cal415 on this forum has a county he runs with a LS1
picture taken from his thread on his county

ls1 has less torque than a tweaked 4BD1T.

Search for buckon37s on pirate,
He's run the lt230 in a few KOH
That's behind a very worked chev v8
I'd imagine the stress and shock loading in that race would exceed just about all trouble we could give it

Dougal has enough grunt for 4wd burnouts



Lt230 is one component lr got pretty well right, it will easily take the cummins

And which is stronger? Taper roller or needle roller?
