Re: 71' K10 modernizing

If you end up moving it forward all you have to do is slide the engine crossmember forward and redrill the holes. If you’re lucky they might even land in the forward mounting holes that are present from the factory. It’s definitely easier/cheaper to move the engine forward and the transfer case crossmember back, because you will be modifying drive shafts then. The front will have to be modified regardless if you use the late style np205 front flange yoke. As for finding the late 205; they only came factory in sm465 and th400 equipped 85-91 square body K30’s. The case will be physically the same between the two transmissions.
