We are considering running a 241 chopped in half to a Divorced Ford 205 to make a doubler and to reduce the rear driveshaft length.

Anybody tried something like this?

I "think" it would work fine, am I overlooking something?
 
uhhh how is the choping of teh 241 going to go? I'm having a hard time visualizing this. Why not a 203/205? or arn't they doing 241/241 or 242 doublers now? Or something close to that?
 
It's going to be loooooooooong. that's about the only big downside I see. Maybe an oiling issue with the np241 since you're cutting the front output off.
 
long is actually good in my case, we are thinking same length drive shafts or a two piece front shaft.

The 241 is also not just for the spedo but compared to the 203 its lighter by alot, it doesnt need redrilling and its 2.7x to 1 rather 2to 1 so our doubled gear selection gets better and ultimate low is actually lower.

For the oiling the 241 has an oil pump on the main shaft that picks up in the bottom of the case I would think as long as we dont disrupt that we should be fine.
 
This is a picture of one I found on pirate we will do somthing simialar the 241 is passenger drop and the 205 is driver

Also I did have a 203/205 doubler in the past and some of the issues are cost, the doubler alone is 700 and I would prefer to use ORD which has a fixed clocking on it, vs devorced we can clock as much as we want when ever we want. With the devorced case there will be no expensive adapter.

Also I had to update my last 205 with new 32spline shafts which cost an ass load.
A divorced 205 comes 32spline all the way around.

In my head it all sounds great but I am afraid I am missing something
