I am considering replacing the G360 with a 6 speed, the NV 5600 seems to be a great trans, the new ZF S6-650 in the newer fords & gm's interests me. First the ford has the external cooler, both are rated for 26,000 gross and handle 570 Ft-lbs. They seem to be much less expensive to acquire and to rebuild. I have access to a wrecked 2000 powerstroke with the trans for free, I would have to buy the NV271 if its needed
According to the guys at ford-cummins.com the transfer case have the same bolt patterns (NP205 and NV271) but different output shaft spline counts.
ford-cummins has a adapter plate to mount ford transmissions to the back of the cummins.
Any comments would be great
Thanks
