Mounting a divorced t-case? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a Dodge, divorced 205 that I am getting ready to build mounts for. It seem to have only 4 bolt holes. Anyone have any pics of a divorced case mounting?

I could use some suggestions on rubber and hardware.

Why a Dodge case? It has 32 spline yokes on all 3 shafts. I am using a 1250 joint on the input and 1410 joints on the outputs. This allows me to upgrade to a different trany someday as I really want to go to a 5 speed.

Thanks in advance.

A customer just mounted one in his '79 c-30 along with a 60 front axle, 500 Cad & 545 allison auto. He used the Dodge crossmember that came with the 205. I think he had it bolted to the frame rails with no rubber. I don't know if Dodge had rubber there or not. I do know that the crossmember bolts up to the case without any rubber- I have a 205 Dodge case & crossmember here on my shop floor. I was thinking of the older chevy 205's "torq brace" round rubber mounts as a way to mount mine if i use it someday.

Another customer had a welding shop install a 4-spd. brownie in his grain truck. They mounted it steel to steel. It sounds like an old bull gear tractor tranny going down the road.

Thanks,
I was thinking that a steel to steel mount would really be noisy. I think I am just going to yank the parts out of my dodge case an put them in my chevy case as the Dodge has the big stuff and it is really tight. I guess everything will interchange? except of course the input, which will have to be a 10 spine for my 465.

Oh yeah, you got a chevy 205 laying around. I need to know how deep to drill the mounting holes. I have a chevy box that wasn't drilled and I don't want to break in the case with a drill

Thanks again

are you referring to the four big bolts that screw into the top of the Dodge case? They go all the way thru the case.
