4wd truck and 2wd tranny

[rusty81]

i have an 81 150 4wd with a 300 and a c6. i was lookin at doing a manual swap. i found a donor truck, but it is a 2wd. i was wondering what all needs done to put this tranny in my truck, and keep the 4wd. can my np-208 bolt up to this tranny? what adapters are nescessary. the donor truck is an 83 250 2wd with a 300. thanks

All you do need is to change the tailshafts with the right intermediate housing. BroncoGraveyard sells these used, you just have to make sure you know the correct length you need. After that it is a bolt on operation (I hate when I say that, because it is rarely ever that way.)

I have set up my 2wd with a transfer case doing it that way and it worked decent. If you had a 4wd drivetrain available, it is better because then you know everything will bolt together.

Good Luck.
