Np241 transfer case

[Tomo]

I plan on doing a 5.3L/4l60e swap in my 70 k5. My current plan is to pick up a passenger drop np241. Has anyone done this in a k5 - I've seen several projects online showing this combo in trucks but haven't located a 1st gen k5 build with the 241.

The reason I'm thinking the 241 is best for me: My k5 came with a Dana 20 tcase and there are no adapters for it. The 241 can be had much cheaper than getting a 205 and an adapter. Lastly the 241 will bolt directly to the 4l60 with factory adapter as long as the input shaft spline count is correct.

That's on my project.....unfortunately it's moving slow right now but the adapter I found is a factory one. It will directly mate the 241 to the 4L60E
I can get you the part # if you want...they come on ebay pretty often..you will need to be sure the spline count is correct.

Your project looks great - mines moving slow too and it doesn't look like it will be picking up steam anytime soon (unless I win the lotto!)

I haven't had a chance to read your entire thread - what crossmember did you use for your trans/transfer case? I found a 241 on Craigslist from a 91 suburban and I'm wondering if I should also get the crossmember while I'm at it - guys parting out the entire truck. I already plan on getting the shifter and everything that goes with it.

The suburban has a 700r4 from what I read it has the same 27 spline output shaft as the 4l60e.

Thanks for your help - I'm sure I'll be bugging you with more questions!

I used a 241 passenger drop mated to a L92/6l80. It bolted right up, I didn't need adapters.

Here's a link to the build, I do not remember how much I covered on the 241 install.

your transmission probably already had the adapter on it....
this is your picture......it looks like there's a short adapter in there...?

here is the correct adapter for the 4L60E to NP241

Why don't you like the NP205? I think you can get an adaptor plate to mate the figure 8 to the 32 spline trans. You'd need a new 32 spline input to the 205 though... I'd guess the cost difference is not mush but the 205 is a superior TC. The 241 has a 2.6 low (if I recall righ) so that may be the thing.

Edit: on a 70 I guess it may not be a 205...
