Zf5 swap questions

[89frankenford]

ok so its been in the back of my mind about swapping to a zf5 from the m5od i have currently. I know i would need new clutch components but can i still use my old transfer case (borg warner 1345) and my old driveshafts? Or would i have to get those too?

Has anyone here ever completed this swap with success?

hey has ANYBODY actually done this swap before?!?!?! im really wondering right now. im in the market right now for a tranny so i need to know. or has anybody done serious research on this?

I know the transfer case will bolt up. That is the extent of my first hand knowledge.

can i use the same driveshaft as well? or does the length differ greatly with the new transmission? i have a 2 piece driveshaft(has a slip joint int eh middle) so i have some leeway

I don't know. The setup I worked on was in a sort of truggy. The transfer case was pulled from a junkyard of a mazduh 5 bang and bolted onto a zf.
