So is the overdrive on a 518 is the same as the 47rh? I'm thinking of a motor swap down the road and would like to use the 47rh and a 205 transfer case. I've done alot of looking but can't find a solid answer if the 205 can be bolted to a rh.
I'm not sure you can get enough fuel out of the little pump to pull a locked convertor unless you are running some real steep gears. Maybe locked in 2nd but not drive.
No, the A518 is basically a gas trasnmission, fact is it appears to me that it has a small block bell housing... I also think it has the smaller 6" low/reverse drum, single wrap band, and 12 roller sprag. But then again that's a guess as I've never fully tore one down.
The 205 to 47RH looks to be possible, the one on that 92 has the same 6-bolt flange and the output shafts are supposedly the same (dia. and spline count-wise anyway).
As far as pulling, that's kinda what I was thinking too, I'm not sure what the 205 has for low range, but he has 3.54 gears and plans to run tires in the 33" range... Even if I get him to the 500hp mark, I still don't think he'll be able to pull off 3rd lock-up. He plans to do more drag racing with it vs pulling, otherwise I would swap out his gears for some 4.56s at the very least...
