I found a guy that has a rebuilt 400 and rebuilt 205 transfer that he will sell for $1200. I plan on running 4:56 gears and around 38" tires. What do you guys think does this sound like a good deal? and will this setup work for what i want to run? thanks for the help.

A TH400 and a NP 205 are two very bulletproof assemblys and will take just about whatever you throw at them....the price does seem a little high, but i really don't know too much about T-cases

I would have to say it all depends what was all put in to the small block 400. Is it a stock rebuild or is it high performance? What was it built for, low end torque or high rev. HP ?
205 is bullit proof gear driven assembly. Mine needed about $200 in parts, seals, gaskets, etc. A friend did the rebuild for a night out at an adult entertainment club. I guess I spent close to $250 that night, but I was drinking and had a private dance too :p If you do the R&R of the tranny and tc, you will save some money because most shops don't like the heavy tc. It's actually a piece of cake, hell I flat backed the 205 tc back in the truck with a friend to help start a couple bolts. |
