The current plan doesn't involve the np205. I am looking into using a 2000 dodge front axle. That gets me the drivers side diff. One option is to take the dodge front clip since it is a 4 link with coils and grafting it to my frame. In this case, I would use another frame and save this k20 frame. I have several more. This is the leading option so far.

Another options is to use only the parts needed from the dodge frame to transport the 4 link over to my frame. This entails making a lot of parts. Got to love plasma.

Another option is to remove everything from the dodge axle and use the leaf spring setup on my frame. My concern with this is making sure I get all the pinion angle and steering stuff right. probably the simplest option, but what fun is that.

Anyone done something like this?
