the np 205 is a good case because its gear on gear so you'll get better durability but the np 208 whihc is chain driven has a ratio of 2.61-1 instead of the np205's ratio of 1.94-1. I personally run a np 208 in my 87 with a racing 305 and a 700r4 and i have never had a problem. so it all depends on the type of four wheelin u do <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
