I have a question some of you guys probially have an answer to. I had a 4spd and 205. I just bought a 350 and 203 set up when i bolt them in the holes dont line up for the adaptor or the transfer case do i have to get a new crossmember or can i drill mine for the new holes and mover the transfercase mount back? Are the cross memebers from 4spd to auto differend if so does anyone have one?
Thanks any info will help

I think your going to have to wing it since the 350/203 combo was not offered in pre-73 vehicles. Do you have access to the cross member that was used with the 350/203 combo? Also, if memory serves me correct the 465/205 and 350/205 crossmembers available in pre-73 trucks are differnet also.

Thanks, no i dont have access to the old crossmember. But the adaptor lines up to my cross memeber i will just have to drill it, and the transfer case mount looks like it can be moved and it will work fine and then i have to get the drive shafts modded.
