Default 42Re Question

Anyone know what's involved in attaching either a Dana 300 or a NP205 to the back of one?

I'll eventually be swapping in a 46Re too food for thought.

Any help would be appreciated as I broke my 231 in half a couple days ago

dude...I think you are missing a brake light. But seriously, that looks like a project.

or this http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=955599
not trying to sound like a broken record but google...not a whole lot of swaps like this happen on this forum if that helps haha. at least from what i've seen where people actually know or follow up on it.

I would go with the NP205 and I believe that advance adapters would be your best bet on mating it up. However, on a side note, how is the 42re holding up to the beating of your rig?

It's "surviving" the trans / truck only has 80,000 miles

I think I'll be looking for an adapter for a 46Re and when I swap in the 300 I'll put in the 46Re for some reliability I feel so bad for my lil 42Re
