ORD 203/205 doubler right? If so those are spec'd with a 2" clock or stock orientation.
I did a single 3" crossover pipe at the bell-housing to run the exhaust on the driver side. Plenty of clearance for the front shaft at full stuff.
Also, I have about the same clocking, and ended up using a Tom Woods offset u-joint on the transfer case end of the front shaft.
Looking real good.

No it's a northwest fab.
Not sure about that one
Thanks
I'm thinking about running it under the Eco Box where it will be protected by the skid.
thanks for the confirmation on the clock/driveshaft setup
Built a little jig to bore out the holes for the DIY4X spring hangers
Played around with some exhaust ideas, below is a 3" tube of biscuits simulating a 3" crossover exhaust tube that would merge into the driver side tube.
Also slid the gas tank between the frame rails to get an idea how it will fit. The frame isn't sitting very level so I'll play around with it more later.

I messed around with mine for a few tonight too and I came to the conclusion that going under the back of the bellhousing is my best bet.
Also I was wondering... I haven't taken a close look at my tank but is there a reason for going to the passenger side with the filler neck?

I'm doing it the same way. It's because the tank tapers off in the back in that direction. At least that was my motivation.
I bolted the HD th400 bell housing on the trans and realized there isn't much room there
The 31 gallon tank tapers at the back with the filler on the passenger side. It very well could end up flipped 180. I was more interested in the height and fitment between the rails.
I see. Shows how much I pay attention! I forgot you are running an automatic. There's a nice spot to squeeze 3" in right behind the bellhousing on a NV4500.
yep, I've seen a few builds like that. If I had a 203 I wouldn't be able to crossover where I am either....
Right now I'm debating what type of crossmembers I want to build. Originally I intended on boxing sections of the frame and using 4x4" plates that would bolt flat to those boxed sections. Now that I see the drivetrain I'm thinking I should bolt to the bottom of the frame so I have more room for exhaust. I have a bunch of flanged nuts that was planning on welding inside the frame so I can bolt the crossmembers to the frame after it's fully boxed.
It's all going to be square tube and I have a bunch of poly mounts.
I just had to jump this same hurdle, apparently long tube headers make exhaust routing a pain once you clock the transfer case. Luckily I'm only running 2.50" so I was able to squeeze it between the rail and the tc and cross over under the tailshaft housing.
the different drivetrains and exhaust configurations definitely make it interesting. Do you have any pics of your crossmember installed, and what size tube did you use? It was one of the designs I was leaning toward.
I have a 3" pipe running down my passenger side with out any issues...........but then my transfer case is a drivers drop
I didn't even think to take a picture of it installed, and won't be home for another two weeks. Its 2" square 3/16 thick, it hangs down a little when you look from the side but its only right below where the tc hangs. I plan to eventually skid plate the whole thing.

Have you looked at K85s exhaust?
I have room for the piping down the side of the trans, the issue is the 205 blocking the path so I'll crossover right before the 205 under the Eco Box.
I have a few sticks of 2" 3/16" square tube in the garage that I planned on using for this but for some reason yours looks smaller in the pics. I thought maybe it was 1.75" or even 1.5"
I did at one point, it's been awhile....he crossed over under the engine right?
My exhaust crosses over right under the torque converter.
Might consider the oval exhaust tube they sell too

That oval pipe is sweet. Not exactly cheap though.
