pros for married, one less driveshaft, takes up less room underneath,
cons, short front shaft
pros for divorced, better shaft lengths/angles, can be dropped down for better driveline angles, easier to drop tranny and or t-case
cons, less ground clearance, one more driveshaft that can break, longer front shaft can hurt you depending on vehicle its in

not to steal your thread... but does anyone know if I can in some way put a divorced unit on my tranny? I mean, I know its possible, but can I just get the end part fro a 2wd ZF and bolt that on and then put the NP205 on? or should I just get married? If I put a married on the ZF, can I twinstick it?

The spline counts for the frod trucks ain't as bad of a worry since fromt he mid 70's up though the 90's they were the same.

I think that you can do it the same way you would do it on a nv -435 tranny,as the mounts are quite similar between the zf and a 435, and in the late 80's they were both used with the bw 1356 tc, and the shifter mount on the 435 didn't change, so i doubt it'll be to hard.

yeah, don't forget to build a side mount for that pig of a 205tc, heres what i did (you can use your stock crossmember too that one is out of an 87 3/4t, theres plenty of clearence, or should be anyway, thats a 435/205 setup):
