Hi everyone! Thanks for letting me join this forum. I have a K20 with a bad turbo 400. I don't know exactly how bad it is yet but I did pick up a newer 400 out of an 88. Obvious problem is the newer tranny has the NP241 transfer case. Will the 208 t case off my old tranny bolt to the newer turbo 400? I have read places that the output shaft lengths are possibly different. If the shafts have to be changed then I guess I might as well just have the old tranny rebuilt.

Yes, 208 and 241 are a direct swap. The swap issues come up if you want to run a 203 or 205 t-case, and then it gets more involved from there, depending on what year th400 you have and what year 205 you want to run. But for you, there's no trouble bolting together what you want to use.

Great! Thanks! That makes me feel a lot better knowing that.
