TH400/NP205 ????\'s

I was wondering the difference between the late 70's 400/205 setup and the late 80's 400/205 combo. Are they the same except the crossmember. Can I put a late 80's combo in my 73 K5 with minor mods. Are the output shafts and adapters the same. Can a late 80's 205 go on a late 70's 400? Thanks for your help.

can't answer all your questions, but here is what i know.

late 70's has an hour glass style adapter on the 205 side & a shorter tail shaft.

late 80's uses a longer tail shaft in the t-400 & the 205 & adapter have a round bolt pattern.

Yes.

No, the output shaft on the newer one is longer and the bolt pattern on the front of the transfer case is different. That is why the crossmember is different.

Yes, but you'll need to do two things:

1. Change the output shaft in the TH 400
2. Use the newer adapter.
