[jonjus]

Hello! just started building this Suzuki to do some crawling..

Should be cool

Why a 305? I have one with the same combo as you. Minus the gear ratios in the axles and it’s a complete dog. Wont you want more power since your only running a 205?

looks like a fun rig. i will add this for your consideration. look into a doubler of any kind for the 205. it is amazing what a v-8 in the 4:1 will do. not only will the th350 be happier it will build less heat. but if your just gonna run it. it will be light and still fun as hell for dam sure.

reason for parts selection is. no money involved just assembly of random leftovers parts. all for pure fun
We all ready have powers and portals stuff

Here is some pics..

[jonjus]

Rear links are ready.. next up finish front link mounts.

why? they all ready have an adapter. or does this help clock tcase?

adapter will be ~1/2" in length and stock adapter clocking is shitty at best

 

[chaplinfj60]

i know the shitty clocking for sure. cant wait to see this adapter.

 

[TimJus]

made adapter for it

its being race bolt pattern had to make adapter in 2 pieces, round pattern would need just single plate, it has large enoug bolt patter to stay outside of the th350 tail.

one plate bolts to th350 and has countersunk bolts and center hole acts as pilot.
np205 side plate has seal and bearing register acting as other side of pilot.

plates bolted to th350/np205

bolted together with new external bolt pattern

came out 15.26mm (0.6")long
