ok i know this is like my 3rd thread on this. haha a guy just e-mailed me this! will this tranny fit? could i some how incorporate the transfer case into my truck too? thanks a lot

"Hi,
I have one sitting in my garage. Came out of a 92 F150 with a straight six, but bolts up to 302 and 351W too. Was in running condition when removed. Has about 180k on it. Also have Manual BW1356 transfer case behind it. $100 for Trans, $150 with transfer case."

It should work if ya keep it together. Ya might have to change the yokes or driveshafts to get it to hook up.

 

[89frankenford]

hmm ok. ill have to look at that.

 

[flareside_thunder]

should be the same yoke....is it a slip shaft for the rear or bolt in?ya oughta wait to do that down here travis.....hell i gotta front end for ya lol...

Yeah that'll work no problem Travis. The 1356 is the t-case that you already have.

EDIT: Trav just told me on AIM that his truck has a 1345.. I didn't realize. Still it should work-- though like the other guys said, you may need to swap the yoke depending on what it has now.

[89frankenford]

BUT i still wanna move sometime. maybe not as soon as i hoped. but i am going to see if i can transfer down there once i get my foot in the door

Well it is technically because he dont have limited slip or lockers...

Who might that be?

 

[89frankenford]

another question though. if i were to get a BW1356 transfer case....how would the speedo get its reading? i have a BW1345 and the speedo reading is taken from the tail shaft of the transfer case.

Ah crap good question... I've never seen that speedo gear setup in person. Any chance you could swap the tailhosing and it'd work? I'm really not sure how that mechanism works...

 

[89frankenford]

on my setup up right now it is just a gear around the tailshaft which runs a gear for the speedo cable which goes to the dash

 

[flareside_thunder]

IIRC it's the same setup...
