NP203/NP205 Doubler adapter....

There was a template on line some where to have the adapter machined. Anyone have any experience with this?

I think the drawings and such reside at bc4x4.com. Do a google for Gordon Pritchard - he is the one that did it.

I believe I've seen those on the Pirate board www.pirate4x4.com/forum

I just sucked it up and bought mine from Dirtybird (on pirate). www.jedsmachining.com $450 was tough to swallow, but his work is simply amazing. I'd do it again, and I'm the biggest "oh, I can build that" guy I know.

That is the best price yet. All the other ones I have seen have been $750 and $770 for the kits... I might go the buy it rought but if I can get it done cheaper I will look into anything. should be intresting though 302, AOD, 203, and a 205 in an XJ! Still doing research maybe after the first of the year I can start getting the adapter and put it all together for a test fit! LOL!

Any progress?

Im looking at the Sazworks 203-205 adaptor $450, Screen name (Johns351c):

The doubler adaptor is two pieces, I can order it not welded so I can index or clock the cases how ever I want!

several guys in my local club had Wagoner machine shop make theirs after one guy bought the offroad design one...they didn't turn out well and one even broke. I would look at buying one of those from a reputable company.

Well everything kinda got put on hold right now. My Step Daughter is sick. MOre info in the SE chapter. But I was thinking of the staz one too. Hopefully some time this summer I can get back on top of this. TY BigWoody for the input. Do you know anything about the Staz one?

I still stand by my Dirtybird unit, although I have talked with John @ Stazworks, and he definately seems like a great guy.
The unit I have is for a ford 203 to D300. Like the Staz kit, the 2nd case mount comes unwelded so you can clock/rotate it any way you want.

I really don't think you can go wrong with either vendor. In fact the only reason I went with Jed is that he had the Ford 203 (the actual range box itself!) that I couldn't find in the junkyard.

Ghost, what WB are you running? MY 302/C6/203/D300 leaves me with about a 44" rear shaft, but I moved my rear axle back 8".

Well teh xj is 101" But I thought about streaching it forward about 1" - 2" and rear about 2" - 4".... However this is all in my head right now. Just gathering parts. You got lucky on the ford 203, mine is a dodge unit. But i was reading in AA that you can put the Ford input in any of them to make them stronger... I think that is what I read.... something about it haveing more splines.. 32 maybe.... I'm not real sure about all that. I will cross that bridge when I get to it. Worse case scenerio I have to find another and I am always checking for them. Also, I have a 80 - 86 Bronco Carcas dropped on me this weekend so my tranny may change. It has a granny geared 4 speed I think. CAnnot wait to go pick it up.
