Re: Longer transmission and moving mounts

I added a Ranger overdrive in my K5 (like a stick shift version of a Gearvendor that goes in front of the trans). I did not want to deal with moving the engine, checking fan clearance, etc and just moved the transfer case crossmember back ~7" and drilled the frame to match. Left the engine in the original position.

This is what the drivetrain looks like from the top. If pics of the relocated crossmember would be useful I can put some up tomorrow.
