If one if going to use a 4x4 700r4 to 205.
You must have
Fitzall/tekpack adapter(#7Q-35A) also avail from O.R.D.

Th350/205 adapter

Reviving an old thread again. I'm looking to add the 700r4 to my 67 4wd. If using the spacer and moving the trans & 205 back 2-3 inches and moving the engine forward 1-2 inches, how does this affect the floor shifter? Sounds like the spacer solves the trans pan clearance, but might create an issue with the 205 floor shifter. Please state some figures for moving what & how far. This one definitely needs some more firewall clearance, so moving even an inch forward would be great.

Thanks to all who are sharing the great info listed. Greg

If I'm thinking right, with the engine in the factory spot on my 67, the 205 will be 4" further back with the 700r4 & spacer (no shaft change). Will have to look at the trans hump to see how much I can move the shifter hole.

Who has done this on a 67-72? How much did you move the engine & and shifter hole? Any problems with front shaft hitting the transmission pan or headers? The headers are a tight fit already.

67 didn't use the NP205 so you might want to see what's in there now.
I guess the truck has the SM420 now, or?
Then I'd start measuring things to see how long the BH, adaptor, and trans are, and then look into the length of the auto, and adapter. Then start adding things up.
It's not hard to move the engine and rear crossmember, but you may wind up needing a new front driveshaft after shifting things to make the rear work.

The 67 currently has a mid 70's 350 engine with headers, th350, np203, & a 4" lift. Havent done any measuring but the 203 looks a lot longer than the 205. I already have a 205, adaptor mounting bracket, & the cross member from a 70- 72. I was originally planning on leaving the th350, not sure now. The 700r4 sounds nice, but I'm not sure on moving everything & the tv cable setup.

I used the advanced adapter kit with the special output shaft. I moved the engine forward 1 1/2 inches. I had to move the transmission shifting mechanism forward, lengthen my exhaust and change radiator hoses. I have two inch lift springs and just enough front driveshaft to transmission pan clearance. Since I didn't have to move the transfer case, the shifter, trans mount and driveshafts stayed put.
