will np205 t-case work w/ e4od?
i have a 82 f350 4x4 with a 400m/c6. my trans is done and i want od so i am swaping to a e4od trans. my transfer case has a few issues so i am going to be replacing it at the same time. ive heard the np205 is the strongest case. is there one that works with the e4od or do i need an adaptor plate? or, is there a better transfer case that i can use? thanks

well.....the input shaft and the bolt pattern is the same.....BUT, it all depends on the tailshaft of the e4od....if it was bolted to a case that doesn't use shift rails....like a 208, the tailshaft will not have clearance for the high/nuetral/low shift rail on the 205....the c6's tailshaft will have a indention cut out of the flange so the shift rail will clear....and the retainer thing that holds the bearing on the input of the 205 might not slide into the tailshaft of the e4od....
it would help if we knew what tcase you were running...

i dont know what kind of case it is. how can i tell? a friend of mine who knows alot more about trucks but mostly chevys said it didnt look stock. but it has a huge bolt jammed into the drain hole and it seems to be leaking a bit plus sometimes i am unable to get into 4low so i am planning to get a different tcase when i do the swap. where do i look to id it?

yes they should bolt up.
if your truck is an 82 i'd be willing to bet its an NP208, if not that then more than likely a 1345. can you get a pic?
there is no way in hell i would give up a C6 for an E4OD unless it was rebuilt by someone reputable!
just my opinion!

hahahahahahaha......just hope its not a np208, that would suck for you...
get some pics, if its a 208, the tailshaft will not work with the 205, the shift rail will hit the mounting flange on the tailshaft....i dont know if you can get another tailshaft on the e4od or not.....on my m5od i just used the saw-zaw and cut the notch myself....
im with fishy....keep the c6..

does the 1345 use shift rails like the 205....or is it like the 208 shifts kinda like a transmission...

The question I have is why would you go to the E4OD and not just go to an AOD? On your 82, your 400m is a non computer controlled motor, the E4OD works best when connected to a computer controlled, so you would have to *******ize a stock ecm and wire it up to get the thing to shift right, or pay some rediculous price for an aftermarket ecm just to run the E4OD. AOD's are still around and can be built almost as strong as your c-6. Plus what aftermarket upgrade parts there are for the E4OD that are around are extremely pricey!

umm.....if it has a np208 or the 1345, the tailshaft wont have the clearance for the shift rail.....unless he wants to cut the chit of his tranny like me, he will either need another tailshaft or a tcase that doesn't use shift rails....

Not should, CAN! Ask me how I know
It's all about making sure you have the right adapter/output housing, or being able to modify your original one...

As heavy as a 205 is, he needs to make a new crossmember anyways. I took the crossmember that was bolted to the 205 that I got out of a late 70's F-150 and moded it to fit up. It takes almost all of the stress off the tranny output shaft.
Still doesn't solve his problem about running a computer controlled tranny on a non computer controlled truck and making it work right without some serious wiring/ecm upgrades
