Tare down
you twin stickin the 205 now ? . . . they shift so much better with that mod .
Did you get the speed daddy headers too? They do look nice after a little heat. I’m going to scuff mine and do a clearcoat header paint on them. Nice blued satin finish will look nice.
Good thinking on the magnum rather than the adapters.

I didn't spring for the new rails. I already feel guilty putting a mag in a tow rig but I will be running the triple stick from ord
Same as speed daddy if they aren't. Nice polish on them and they're really nice for the $. Why would you clear coat them if they're 304 ss? Isn't that the point? The fender well headers on the blazer did brown where the mud flung on them
Because I have my doubts about the actual quality of the stainless. Lol
if you need 205 help dont forget my doubler thread in the advanced articals section . pic by pic write up .
Good point but I don't think anything under those heat cycles will fare well
Oh I know all about it I rely on you and the guy a lot. I'm hoping this is pretty Strait forward
205 is a easy unit to do . 
This will be my second but I did good on the older non synchro in my first Gen so I hope it's not much different. Aside from my idiotic oil leaks I'm above average mechanically hahahaha I did notice there's some difference outward like the rails/linkage and there's what I'm guessing is a shift indicator sensor on the one rail the rest seems the same205 is a easy unit to do .
i would convert the syncro parts out my self . never felt the need to have it .
It is a tow rig and I don't see them creating a weak point
But its getting a magnum lol
This is too cool!
Surprised by the delivery of my Howell harness today! I hope the shipped the ecm separately as it's not in the box...
Magnum? 
Meh you dont need a computer
Did sending your harness in to be reworked save any money or have any advantage? I have an 8.1 I pulled from a G-van that is going to end up in my crew cab. I have everything from the donor. Since mine was a van harness I wasn't sure about wiring lengths or if it was worth it to rework. Howell doesn't list it on the site, just the stand alone harness and reprograming.
