They came in early 90's suburbans and blazers with a passengers drop.

They're super stout. The 14FF cover weighs a ton.

241's came in both a driver's drop and a passenger drop. For a GM solid front axle, you need a passenger drop. GM went to a driver's drop when they switched to IFS.

For some reason I had it in my head that you need a drivers side drop to go with the 700R, but it looks like you can go either way. Nice build and thanks for the info

Re: AJs 72 Pavement Pounder build

UPDATE 9/15/08 - I spent a couple of hours the shop wrapping up the SYE conversion on the 241. I gotta admit, it wasn't that bad. JB Conversions did a great job on their instructions. The only question I ran into was which direction to install the blue speedo gear...I didn't pay attention when I took it off. The hardest part of the install was removing and installing the snap rings. There are 4 to remove in the tear down and 3 to install on the build. For anyone looking to do this conversion in the future, invest in a good set of snap ring pliers. The snap rings look like the one shown below. They don't have the holes in the tips that I'm used to seeing.



All in all it was a good evening. Here's the finished SYE 241:



Tomorrow night: remove the TH350/205 combo and put it up for sale.
