CJ8 Tranny and xfer case swap
 

I am trying to get my CJ8 (258) back up and running. I have a pathetic T-5
and Dana 300 transfer case. I have access to a 76 or 77 T150 and Dana 20
transfer case and a T-18 tranny. Will the T-18 bolt up to the D300? Or
would the T-150 and D20 work in the CJ8? Would drive shaft length be a
concern?

Thanks

chris

Hmmm... I rather like my T-5 tranny and Dana 300 combo.

The Mustang V8 boys also like the same T-5 tranny in their rides....

My 258 goes like a scalded cat and will light up the tires in 1st and
2nd And bury the spedo in 4th and the Dana 300 shifts like a dream at
any speed in and out of 4 high.

My current T-5's first synchro is just about gone and I have no third gear.
If I could find a replacement I'd be glad to keep my 5 speed. I did find a
T-5 out of a 1986(?) Mustang. If I knew that would work, I'd jump on it!

Re: CJ8 Tranny and xfer case swap
 

Just looking at the pictures, (no experience with the Dana 300) at
the transfer mounting areas, I would say there're no way of bolting the
Dana 300 to a Borg Warner T-18. It's in bunch of transmissions that
bolted the main drive gear on their output shafts to fit inside the Dana
18 and 20 transfers.
