Re: CJ8 Tranny and xfer case swap
 

I am not sure, but I think that the D300 tcase is about as good a unit as
you will find anywhere.

I have a NP435 trans wedged in between my engine and my D300. The 435 has a
1st gear ratio of 6.69:1. If I had a 4:1 kit in my D300, I would have a
crawl ratio of nearly 110. Almost too low to be useful. With the standard
2.6 ratio of LO range, I have a crawl ratio of 75. when in LO range, and in
1st gear, I can wrap the engine to the red line, and I still can not shift
into 2nd faster than it takes to coast to a stop.

Your CJ8 has plenty of room under it, and you can put in just about
anything.

Re: CJ8 Tranny and xfer case swap
 

You can buy the parts to fix the current trans for about $150. I would look
into fixing in myself before I thought about pitching it for something new.
