th400 to np205??

[jeep_man_401]

I have a 78 J10 that has a th400 and the QT case. I would like to go to the stronger 205 transfer case. What year of truck should I look for the 205 in (can I use a Chevy 205?) :-| Will I need some sort of adapter to make this swap work?

Plan on pulling at the fairs part-time and don't think the QT will hold up long with the 401 I built.

I also have 2 other cases 1 out of a waggy with a 6 and one QT out of a Waggy that had a 401 in it(that one has the low range, but the chain needs replaced) if anybody is interested in buying them or swap??? 111!!!

I just bought a 73 3/4 ton 4x4 chevy suburban with an NP205 case and D44/14 bolt axles that I am swapping under my 78 Wagoneer


all you need to get a chevy NP205 to mount to your existing TH400 tranny is a GM TH400 4x4 main shaft.......and the GM Th400 to NP205 t-case adpater.

bad news is you have to dissasemble the tranny to get to the main shaft so you can swap in the Chevy shaft.

But, I look at it as a good reason to go ahead and modify my AMC bolt-TH400
