I ,ve been wanting to put an overdrive tranny in my 74 for some time now. looked at a few , price was usually to steep. I just got a 4r70W that was just rebuilt out of a wrecked 94 F150 with the adapter,torque converter....$400 cash.
now looking for a NP205. also need a Bauman computer

what adapter?

 

[Canuck]

The adapter looks as if it would fit the NP205

 

[DanWheeler]

I dont think it requires an adapter to go from a 4R70W to a 205. Standard circular pattern and 30 spline shaft. Atlas, 205, stak are all bolt on as long as the 4R70W has the 4WD tailshaft.

Was the F150 4wd?

 

[broncnaz]

I think thats what he's refering to it s a 4wd version. Which is not really a adpater its just how the tailshaft housing is.
Not to bad only another $700 or so to go.

ah yes, I remember thinking that ;D I spent $150 on the 4R70W itself and over 3 grand on the conversion. OK - 2k of that was Atlas but there's the shifter, transmission cooler, new drive shafts, computer, wiring harness, new hard lines and adapters, temp gauge, TPS if retrofitting to carb, etc etc

Cool, 1 step closer

 

[Canuck]

Yes ,I am refering to the tail piece as an adapter. There are alot of 70,s ford doner vehicles in this area so a 205 should be an easy find. Procrastination day today!!!! got to find a 205 , got to love a nice income tax return!

procrastination paid off NP205 for $100 even closer
