What about running a high pinion rear axle ? I believe Dana and corporate axles had models with a high pinion- I know Dana did. That will help with some of the driveshaft issues

Well, I think I am going to just suck it up and run one. I have a clocking ring and made a cardboard cutout of the case. It will clear if I clock it and the front DS will be about perfect. It will eat up about 7-8" of rear length, but I'll run a double cardan joint off the Ford flange and rotate the pinion straight to the case.
I found a Ford one on the CL for $400.

I ran the factory 29 spline np205 in my old race truck it ended up with a 47re with an o/s output shaft. It would run 7.08@98mph in the 1/8th. It put down 962hp/1472tq I was only running about a 32” nitto 420 but it would turn all four over if you launched it hard enough. I never had an issue with my 205.

Dodge ran a 241D (not LD or HD) with a fixed yoke output in the 1989-1993 GAS trucks, but it was a passenger's side drop.
I believe the extension housing and output shaft MIGHT be swappable into a DHD or DLD driver's side drop, never looked into it.
It will fit a 205's 1410 rear yoke with a seal swap.

Thanks Mark, I'll look and see what that output shaft look like.

From what I have read, they are weaker than a 205.
I was looking at them but couldn't find much info except a guy on pirate4x4 said they are ancient pieces of..... I am beginning to realize that site is not what it used to be.
I just picked up a Ford NP271. See how it looks in the truck here soon once I tear it apart.

I also don't think they are made for high RPM, might really limit speed to 55 or so.

Yea, they used to run them around here. I was hoping I could run one, but I just don't think they would be good for a daily driver.
I got a NP271 out of a Ford and it fits without a clocking ring. A little longer than I wanted but looking at the size of the shafts and chain, I would say this case is the way to go. A LOT more beef than the 241 and 205 cases.
