Will a 241 transfer case fit on a 700r4?

Yes, they came factory. You do however need to make sure you have a passenger drop NP241 though. For blazer's they were only offered 89-91 and 89 is THE ONLY year for a mechanical speedo.
and 27 spline input gear also with correct 4 bolt to tranny adaptor.
Probably a dumb question but I'm also looking for help, my 86 is 350-700r4-208. As my understanding the 700 is 27 spline input. I have a lead on a 241 out of a 89 3/4 ton suburban, mechanical speedo. The 241 is 32 spline. What all needs to be done to make it work in my blazer? I know this has been discussed before but I'm having a hard time finding a definitive answer.
Thanks. I was thinking that but wasnt %100

I can trade you input shafts I'm having to put a 32 spline input on my 241c which was bolted to a 700r4. I can also sell you a 700r4 to 208/241 adapter if needed.
Watch out for the gear pitch change in '94, you have to swap earlier with earlier or later with later.

I'm fairly new to this forum and am in the process of slowly putting an all numbers matching 1990 Jimmy 1500 that has been sitting for about 8 or so years, back on the road. It was running when it was parked and looks almost new outside. Inside needs some help, but it's not too bad. It has around 150K original miles and no serious wrecks.
I've already been helped with advice on doing the minor paint problems before they become too bad. (Thank's for all of that y'all)
I've already been warned to watch the front and especially the rear end. They are a fairly common problem.
I see that it is supposed to have a 241 transfer case w/electronic speedo, according to an earlier part of this thread. What is the story on this model transfer case? Real good or bad? I don't think it has been abused too much. It was bought brand new and driven by 5 or less adults and 2 daughters. My 2 daughters didn't get to drive it very much. My wife kept it spotless so if they went off road much they would have been caught I'm sure.
If there are any other real good or bad areas let me know, especially if there's a way to do something about it before it becomes a problem.
Thank you, Paul

The 241 is a good case. The biggest issues occur when they are put into scenarios that they weren't intended, such as running them with no fluid, smashing them on the rocks while wheeling, and other types of obvious abuse. biggest thing is keep it full of fluid.
Sometimes the shift fork goes bad, which can make it difficult to get into different ranges, and sometimes makes in pop out of the gear position you've selected.
I suspect that fork issues are caused lack of fluid and bad transmission/t-case mounts. The lack of fluid thing is obvious, but the bad mount plays a role because the shifter is attached to the body, and the transfer case is attached to the frame, with a simple link between to two. If the mount goes bad and allows for excessive t-case movement, the shifter doesn't move with it, causing the fork to get loaded and unloaded with every application of the throttle or every gear change in the transmission.
The older 205's and 203's the shifter was attached to the driveline, not the body, so this issue wasn't, well, an issue

Thanks Justin, I've got some other questions but, I think that I'm going to start a thread so I won't be hi-jacking this one. I've been on the net trying to get some info and wound up with more questions than answers. Thanks again, Paul
