dual t-case ?? posibility ?

I just bought a 73 highboy with a 360 and c6 i ruined the tranny well kinda, but i have a np435 married to a np208 i believe it is out of an 82 f150, i have the bellhousing to bolt it up already, would it be possible for me to bolt that up in place of the c6 and be able to run dual cases, or am i just insane, it seems to me like a great idea

thanks
justin

Its common around south Florida to see a setup like that on the swamp buggies. Cheap and easy gear reduction by putting both cases in low.

so it will work?? just need to change the crossmember a little, so the drivelines should all stay the same, execpt the intermiediate would shortern a hair, i have a pedal assembly, anything else i need to consider, what about the linkage for the rear case, that will brobably need to be changed, maybe not have to start measuring i guess

You'll have to fab up a shifters if the factory ones don't land where you want them and make some crossmember changes. I've never seen this setup used on road but plenty of them in the swamps.
