So, I am almost done with my transmission rebuild in my project. I still have a separator plate that needs to be ordered, but anyways, I am running into my next hurdle.
So, as you know I am shoving a Cummins into a 77 F-250. This is one of the High-Boys, so it has a divorced transfer case in it. I have always intended on keeping the divorced transfer case, but somehow now it has turned into a doubler, or will be soon. As you can guess, they are about 8 inches longer when the 203 and 205 are married to each other, than just a 203. The transmission and engine are already pushing my drivetrain back, in the form of a shortened stub shaft, or so I thought. So my question, the back of the 47RH has a slip yoke 1410. Do you guys think that being used as the slip joint will have enough play that I can delete the slip joint from the stub shaft and move the drivetrain forward a bit?
One other question, this one is way off topic from the above and more long term. I have the pieces left over from a 203, specifically the chain case section and differential. I was wondering if any of you have seen that case turned a little on it's end, adapter plates made, some shafting machined, to make it into a front tandem axle drive box? I know that is similar to what they did on the T-Rex, but I was hoping someone had some more info than just me winging it or better ideas than that.
