Well, I finally was able to do some more on my doubler build...As small is this combo is going to be, I will not need to make any mods to my fuel tank

I'm at the point now where I need to get the end cap welded to the case, Need to get my intermediate shaft made now that I have a final measurement of my length, and I need to fab up the plate to mount the 2 cases together. I'm thinking of making a crossmember mount attach at the plate between the 2 cases since I'm going to be using 1/4" steel for this...Without further procrastination, here are the pics
For the endcap I used 3/8" x 2" aluminum plate and cut it down to size...
Here you can see where the shift fork sticks out (barely) and needs to be trimmed...
Here is the clearance with the fork trimmed. It's real close to contacting the plate when in low range, I might have to trim another 1/16" later...
While fitting the 2 cases together for measurements, etc. I decided to check my dana 20 for proper engagement. I had front low range, but it wouldn't go in low range on the rear, just neutral and high range. I pulled the cover and found this inside, a 4" bolt, some roller bearings, and a radiator cap. Wonder what that was doing in there
This is a pic of the inside of my 20. Oil is a little dirty, but all is well and works great, without the radiator cap in the way!
Here is what the 2 cases look like how they will be mounted. Because the 20 is so small, I had flip the reduction box 180* so the two would fit together. This actually worked out better cause of the way the reduction box shifts. It gives me a better angle to hook a cable shifter to it...
This is under SVT showing how much room I have between the trans and the fuel tank. I have right at 17 inches...
With a full 2 inches between the cases (for the mounting plate, which I have figured it out to actually be only 1.5 inches case to case) I still have room (about an inch) for it to fit without fuel tank modification...
So now I'm at the point where I need to get my endcap welded to the case, and build my plate that will mount the two cases together. I need to get the plate that will mount to the reduction box which is the biggest piece an I don't have that yet. I've got a buddy that will get me a piece, then I need to get a small length (only 2 inches in length) of about 5 inch diameter pipe to mount between the two plates and get that fabbed. I plan to drill multiple holes in the plate that bolts to the 20 so I will be able to clock the case up or down where I need it and fine tune my driveshaft angles. Next will be sending my intermediate shafts off to get them machined and fitted. Slowly but surely it's coming together
