Re: Transfer case debate

I have some time to slowly gather what I need for the transfer case... I still have to finish the body work, re-hang the spring hangers, and rebuild the tranny. The NV4500 I have is a 95 so it has the higher 5.61. I want to keep this one for the burb becasuse I eventually want to drop in a warmed over 6.5L Diesel (280-300hp) and the close ratio is nice for a diesel. I am slowly gathering parts for a built TPI 350 (300-325hp). I am pretty sure I am going to use 4.10 gears because I want to use an eaton HO72 rear axle. I will be running LT285/75-R16s so I can carry a full size spare (and price). I like being able to leave the hubs locked and shift in and out of 4hi on the fly. The Dana 20 in the Scout was real easy to shift on the fly, the 221 in my 69 GMC pick-up was too. The 241 in the 95 Yukon is, but it has the front axle disconnect to help... the 91 Burbs 241 isnt easy, but it lived its life with a plow and that might be why. The 242s in Hummers can be a bear... the 205 in the 70 burb was hit and miss easy. I will be wheeling mostly localy. I was looking into this for starter parts but can't make it down there today... look at the pics, not the description.
