Hello, this is my first post here. I'm building a jeep cj6 using unimog 421 running gear. (axles, gear/transfer box & torque tubes.)
I'm planning on using fox racing coil-over shocks, but i don't know what length of travel i need. What i'm trying to find out is what is the fully compressed and fully extended length of a standard shock for a unimog 421. As from what i've seen of unimogs in the past the standard suspension travel is enough for my needs.
Also i'm planning on using either a 300E straight 6 or 500SE V8 engine. Does anyone have knowledge of anybody doing either of these swaps. I have both of these engines available to me but i want to know which 1 would be the easier to fit to the gearbox. I've been told that the 300E engine should bolt straight to the bellhousing, but i can't check this at the moment on either engine as they are both still in the cars.
Any help would be greatly apieceated, Thanks Frank.
