Why do I never see an SYE for a 208? Does anyone make one, if not, why? If someone does make one, who and how do I contact them? Thanks:bow:
 
No such beast. Several people have used dodge/ford parts, but I don't know the specifics. I am currently looking for a dodge 208 to see if I can make it work.
 
I did find one a while back, but instead of just replacing the output shaft, as most kits do,it required you to drill and tap your output shaft. I just was not by on that approach. Thanks though ryan22re.

thats not an sye though, thats just a fixed yoke kit. as of et no one makes a sye for the 208. the easiest way is to get a 241
 
A 241 huh??? All I have ever had to deal with was my old 205's. But since I bought my 86 i have been messing with this chain thing. If I could find a good divorced 205 I would get rid of the 208 and use that. Does anyone know where there are any divorced 205's for sale?
 
Tom Woods makes an SYE for the 208; havent seen any good pics yet on their site but I spoke to Tom and he said they do offer the product. I am going to order it here in a week or two; ill let you all know how it is. It is roughly 700 bucks with a core, this including the shaft which is a good deal I think.
 
LINK I was browsing on there yesterday and seen mention of it but didn't see any pictures. I am considering it as well. The selling point for me would be that it comes with a shaft.
 
Yeah there are no pics, which sucks; and there is actually no other info on the site specifically about it. Just call them up to get all the info you need. It will be a little longer than I had anticipated till I get it ordered. The rearend just hasnt had time to find its way under the truck...
 
Doh! I must of had a brain fart, I know that site and have been their before. Thanks for the link 79Stomper. I shot him off an email for info.

There's a member here that has done them in the past.....................

I have one, but I don't know the specifics since I bought off a member here..............
 
208 SYE kit from Tom Woods available

Got an email from Tom Woods that the SYE kit for the 208 has been available for about a year and starts at $600 and goes up depending on options. And yes, it comes with new shaft.:D

What kind of options are offered??? :confused:
 
He didn't say in the email, just that I would have to call him to work out the details. I believe his phone number is on his website.
 
Is it me, or am I missing something here? Isn't a 241 better (stronger) than a 208? Seems to me someone could find a 241 and install a SYE for $700. You could sure as heck convert over to 205 for that kind of $ Please educate me.
Thanks, Jimbo

Off topic, but does anyone know off hand how long the slipyoke is on a 208 shaft? Seems like after my 14ff swap I have more yoke showing than before, and it makes no sense...Please tell me its like a foot long, that way I dont need a new shaft yet, lol.
