2004 Cummins 4BT Swap - 5-Speed Tremec 4050 - NP 205

OP
Have you had a chance to do any comparison measurements between drivetrain size? Mainly wondering about the size of the two transmissions?
I know you'd said you thought you were going to gain about 10" on overall length?

OP
overall Tremec and NP 205 should be 10 inches shorter than the current 5 spd and NV 231 I think I remember coming up with Plus 6 inches to add on to the rear drive shaft after deducting the Cummins Engine adapter plate to the Tremec Bellhousing adapter and the Advanced adapter T-case adapter
OP
Since it's been mentioned here and brought up in other threads how much bigger physically is the Tremec (height/width) compared to the NV3550? In the one install article that I'd read it showed them using a stock skid plate but they also had to notch it.

With lots of Pictures I should have both drivetrains out for a true side by side comparison

That way I know whether it is one fat chick or two fat chicks heavier, maybe one fat chick and a wave
OP
That does look that way in the video. But I wonder what can be done other ways to raise the engine/transmission if possible. As Gunnersmate said he'll have to wait to see where the engine ends up which will dictate where the transmission can go. If possible I'd cut the trans tunnel to get some clearance. I have read where some guys who swapped in a NV4500 had to modify the transmission tunnel area.
OP
Ok not much happened today got the seals installed waiting on the brown truck to bring the benchstone, the taps, the shift rails and the new hardware and I need to order a bearing that was not included the Master Kit, have a surgery scheduled in April hopefully this T-case is buttoned up before then
OP
Ok the Brown truck showed up today with a bench stone and I hit the Machined gasket surface and knocked the burrs and high spots down left a little tiger striping
