Your exhaust looks tight as they all do with the pass drop transfer case and the fact that the exhaust is on the pass side as well. The trans mount looks like you welded on an exhaust hanger in the couple of pictures. Are you planning on running a mount to the exhaust pipe and still have drive shaft clearance? This is one area of concern in my build.

Good eye. The stock dodge auto trans mount has the exhaust hanger bracket built into it. I left it and plan to make a hanger out of 1/2" round stock and we'd it to my exhaust to give it extra support. There will be plenty of clearance for the drive shaft. I hope.

I'll have to measure it. It is long for sure. So long that I have no front drive shaft from a dodge or Chevy that even come close to working.

I used the setup for a np208 out of my 84 K20 and it doesn't shift well.
Looking good though, very nice.

Thanks. It came from a 93 4x4 dodge cummins with a 518 with a np205.
