Hmm.. I'm liking this.  Hey 727 owners, listen up!  The double transfer
case would move your front output yoke back.. and either a) allow room
for a CV alongside the t'case, or b) since you'll have a 10" longer
front driveshaft, you won't need the CV!!

Good question - and one I don't know the answer to.  I don't have a '205
handy.  I *just* acquired an NP203.. but it's currently mounted in a '69
Chevy 1/2T (behind a Rocket 455 and TH400) and I think that's where it's
staying.. unless we decide to convert the Chevy to part-time 4wd when we
put the 4blt 350 in..

I might have to crawl under the Chevy to look closer at the '203 sized
case and do some measuring.  (I think everything needs greased anyhow)
