im gonna be building a doubler transfer case and what i neew to no is was there a sm465 with a 203 bolted up to it with a 10 splin?
-
I think you could only get a 205 with a Manual Trans.
-
cant you do the 205 off the sm465 and then the doubler kit from the 205 to the 203?

Later model ones used a 208 also.

Pre 79 sm465 were 10 spline and yes they came with 203 it’s the only transmission with 10 splines also. 208s only came in 27(th350 and 700r4) and 32 (th400 and sm465) 208 were only on the sm456 post79

FAQ: What Parts will I need?
You will need a transmission with the correct adapter to mate up to an NP203, or you will need to purchase an adapter. There are few aftermarket adapters for applications such as NV4500, and there are Ford, Dodge and GM Factory transmission adapters. Some of these adapters are getting scarce, depends on the trans you want to mate up.
You will need and NP203 "donor" case. From this, the front reduction housing and the gears in it are used. The 203 used should match up to the adapter you are using. There are a number of different factory 203 adapter combos.
You will need a Tcase to mate the 203 "Doubler" to. Most common are NP205s, although it is also possible to mate up to T-cases such as the Dana 300 or Atlas. Your rear case will need to have a 31 or 32 spline input. This is the standard size on the Ford 205, it is one of the available OEM options for the GM 205, and the Atlas Tcase. A Dodge 205 will require modifications and is thus not optimum. 32 spl input is available from us to fit the Dana 300.
Next, The "Doubler" adapter kit. This is the parts kit that mates up the "doubler" unit (front reduction box from the 203) to the transfer case. Depending on which NP203 you have and which Tcase you want to use, shaft and adapter configurations vary, with most costing $750 for the kit.
A Shifter for the doubler will be needed. You can fabricate something to shift the doubler, or a shifter is available, typically $175 depending on the exact application.
If you have most of or all of the first three parts, it is generally excellent bang for your buck to choose a doubler system. If you need to buy these components, the cost can start stacking up the where a more no compromise, all new system such as the Klune-V Extreme underdrive should be considered.
