[QUOTE="junkyard jim, post: 852755, member: 16140"] You obviously seem to think he's mechanically inclined. (which looking at trying to put a light duty 231 into a full sized vehicle is something most people wouldn't do as it's weaker or equal to the other FSJ stock tcases except the NP208J) It cost$$$$ to buy the parts and insert them into whichever trans he choses to run (and miteaswell rebuild the trans while he's at it). PLUS the NP205 requires body surgery and crossmember manufacturing to install for very little added benefit over a NP208. He asked specifically IF Jeep ever came with a NP205 tcase (answer is from the factory, no) The NP208J IS a bolt on swap (except the rear driveshaft), but I agree that strengthwise it isn't as tough as the NP205. It is however stronger than a C/D/F NP203 (according to New Venture) or whatever FSJ tcase he has if it's not a NP208 already. It requires totally dismantling the trans to install. Not a novice task (get the VHS video on building a Mopar trans before trying) Show me any inaccuracies in that (I do have proofreaders double check what I write for the mag due to my head injury making it not as easy to get across to some people what I mean.)
