Re: The official,unofficial guide to transfer case adapters

The SM465 four speeds used four different adapters.The 465/Rockwell 221 adapter was the first.(I will post at a later date).

The second was the 465/205 adapter used from about 1972ish to 1980.

Case side.(again the racetrack/figure eight pattern)


Around 1973 until 1975 they offered the 203 behind the 465.This is the only pic I have at this time.



The 3 speed sagianw transmissions were offered with a 205 behind them as well.
Trans side.


Case side.




In 1981 they went to the NP208 and for the most part got away from the 205's except in the 1-tons.The 465 adapters changed again with the case change.

Around 1986 GM went to the round pattern 205's and changed the adapters also.

Case side.


The late 465/205 adapter looks alot like the 465/208 adapter but the 208 adapter will work on a 205 due to it not having any provisions for a shifter(notch on the flange and threaded insert on side.



Now for the disclaimer.I am not an expert nor do I claim to be.The dates are not exact,give or take a year or two, and this is not to say that newer/older parts have been swapped in.These are merely my observations from years of swappin/buyin/sellin and usin these parts.
