frankie fountain 08-22-2002, 05:20 PM i was going to order a atlas 3.0 but the 1.96 gear reduction of the 205 is what i need i will be runing 7.50 axle ratio with 37'' to 42'' tires what is the weight difference of the two less the adapter .if i use a 205 it will be a ford drop for the mog axles .also has anybody broken a atlas.so help me make a decsion so i can get my case on the way.:p elf_cruiser 08-22-2002, 05:28 PM strength wise i would say they are comparable if you get the 32spl front output on the Atlas. Personally i would stick with the 205 'cause it's cheaper, and aparently 3:1 gears for it are gonna be avail. next year. So get the 205, if it's not quite low enuff, swap gears into it in about 6 mths!!!

My Ford NP205 weighs in at 141lbs. not sure of the atlas, other than WAY lighter. elf_cruiser 08-22-2002, 06:18 PM Actually the Atlas is not much lighter than that. 110 dry is what AA says. 350 Samurai 08-22-2002, 06:25 PM Originally posted by The Jerk what kinda wheeling? etc... Hes never heard of Frankie Fountain and the Reaper huh? cruiserrg 08-22-2002, 06:51 PM Frankie, I plan to also go with MOG axles and drivers drop. I decided to use a NP241 out of a 88 newer chevy pickup. Reason is weight savings, stock for my 700r4, and cheap. I am only going to run a 4.3 v6 so I think the case will hold up for me. With the HP you running I don't know that the 241 is an option. If not I would look at a NP205 for cost savings, but it is heavier, plus you need an adapter. Don't know if you need one for the atlas. If you get a Ford 205 it should have 32 spline outputs One last option a ORD doubler with GM203 to Ford 205. This may be a good option for you with HP considerations and having more gear choices. It also should bolt up to a 4l60e since they are basically the same as a 700r4. Also if you think the Doubler is an option I am selling mine to help finace the MOG axles. Its listed in the forsale section if your interested. and good luck on the buildup. Reuben badassjeepguy 08-22-2002, 07:26 PM being that your running mog axles i feel the 205 will be plenty strong and you sure wont need lower gearing than what the 205 has.... save you $$$ for more broken shiat, you know the way you are you will break something im sure... ehh? finboy!

I had to do a double take, he needs to put his name and location back. :flipoff2: I don't know about the strength of the atlas but if the 205 is stronger you need to go that route. :eek: Oh and skip the supercharger on the LS1, they don't really like em. If you want to put some power down PM or E-mail me and I can get you a list of parts that will be overall less $$$ than a super charger setup and produce more HP, not ping and create heat. My buddies SCCA Firebird puts down Z06 vette eating hp without the bottle. :D He's a GM shop manager and knows his shiznit. onetoncv 08-22-2002, 08:09 PM either one don't forget we can 2 1/2 ton the driveline if you want- Jess BJ On Roids 08-22-2002, 08:13 PM SO: frankie finland = frankie fountain :confused: MattS 08-22-2002, 08:15 PM Frankie, clean out your PM box. :flipoff2: I sent ya an E-mail.

"Fins to the left, Fins to the right, and you're the only bait in town". nvrenuf 08-23-2002, 01:53 PM Seems like I heard/read somewhere that the Atlas has a max torque rating of 500 lbs. While I have never seen anything about a max torque rating on the 205 I would think it has to be higher since it was used with the Cummins turbo diesel.
