Default Clocking the transfer case...?

Has anyone clocked an NP205 t-case on the back of a Getrag? With all my lift I was wondering if I could clock the transfer case down a little bit to get a more comfortable driveline angle on the front driveshaft...and maybe open up a little room for a 5" exhaust. Anyone have any suggestions?

Okay, I'll keep an eye out for an adaptor kit then.

Thanks for the input!

Yeah, I just checked that too. I think I'm going to inspect the flanges on the adaptor between the Getrag and the 205 and see if maybe there is a way to drill new holes to clock it. Not the preferred method, I'm sure, but it's worth looking at while I have the tranny and t-case out to put a rebuilt tranny top on it and a new clutch in.

I'm running 10"-12" lift total, but the issue isn't driveline angle as much as it's making room for bigger exhaust without having to mount the engine/tranny all the way over to the driver side. See, the Fords were designed for everything to favor the passenger side and the t-case to drop on the driver side. I'm fighting the doghouse and crossmember design by trying to favor the driver side and leave room for the t-case AND a monster exhause on the passenger side. If I could clock the t-case a bit, I could potentially make room for 5" exhaust while still keeping the engine as centered as possible. It was an idea anyway. I guess I could always just make things easy and cut a hole in the hood for a stack, eh?
