what transmissions from the rangers can I bolt an np 205 to? is there such a conversion? if not, can the np 435 tranny be mated to any ranger engines?
 
No stock ranger transmission will bolt to a 205. It might be possible with an adapter.
Same with the engines to a 435.
 
As far as I have found, no RBV trans can adapt to any of the np205's, sucks because I so want to slap my twin stick np205 behind my 4wd c4 and slap the whole combo in place of the fm145/1350 in my BII behind the 4.0L.

However, I believe you can get a bellhousing or adapter to mate the 435 to a ranger v6 or EX v8

Ex v8 will bolt to a standard 435. Also, 205 will bolt up to stock exploder v8 trans. The exploder v8 drivetrain is completely different than the rest of the RBV stuff.
 
could always try and find a divorced case to run behind an existing tcase to get a doubler... i've kinda been toying with that idea but i'm thinking the driveline angles wont be great at all.

Good to know!! Thanks!:icon_thumby:
 
Are all the np205's twin sticks? I happened to get a 1978 bronco complete for FREE!! ya needless to say I'm Stoked! buddy said if you can get it out of my yard its yours.. anyway I haven't seen the thing yet but I know it has a 205 in it along with a bunch of other good stuff just curious if it would be twin sticks?
 
np205's need to be modded to make them twin stick, otherwise they have a single shifter.

The mod isn't difficult, takes about an hour to perform the mod with the case on the shop floor. Google twin stick np205 and you'll get all kinds of great info on the subject. Hardest part will be building a second shifter, and that really isn't difficult either.
