Np 242 T Case Adapter To Th 350 ?????

I just pulled the motor and tranny out of my 87 cherokee to find a New Process model 242 Transfer case with 272 gears. I am puting in a 350 motor with the th 350 tranny and am wonering if this is a good t case to keep and use with the new 350 set up. If so who makes an adapter for this?

It would be nice if someone out there would have some sort of light to shine on my question.

Give me a couple of days to work on this, and i hopefully can give you good news for junkyard shopping. It's my thing and what I like to do. Anyway, I am putting a Vortec 6.0 in my 88 limited with a t-350, and hopefully, my 242. I am going to see if the factory t350/700 adapter for the np 208 will work without any major trans. work . Like I said, junkyard style. Check back in a couple of days.

I wouldn't put a 242 behind a V-8, but then I wouldn't put a 242 behind anything at all given a choice. Some have good luck but mine have always blown up.

It looks like I'll be running with the np 205 t case i have, since i already have everything for it. Now the question is how much work it'll take to put the 1/2 ton fullsize chevy axles underneath my XJ.

My dad has a TH350 behind the 350 in his YJ. He is running a NP231 with an adapter to make it fit. I believe there is a chevy version of the NP231 used on trucks and blazers that fits on the TH350 without an adapter, but I'm not 100% sure on that one.

i would think that a transfer case adapter from the th350 to the np241 or np208 because after looking at a 207 and a 241 it seems that the bolt patter is almost identical

This certainly helps to give me more options as far as what t cases i could possably run with in my XJ. I already have an NP205 t case I can use and so far what I have read up on for the np242 t cases isnt too reasuring. Thanx again everyone for the help. jlake000

Okay, this is what I have put together for the t-350/to whatever x-case. Chevy uses a 27 spline shaft on the t-350, so you can do several things: 1) use the chevy adapter, wich, by the way comes in different thicknesses, and chevy t-case 2) use the chevy np 208 adapter, jeep np231 t-case, and the input shaft from an s-10 np 231 3) use the t-350 with a cutdown 2wd main-shaft to fit the length of the s-10 adapter, and then use the s-10 t-case. this one is a little bit of a pain because gm never offered the t-350 in an s-10, but where I live s-10's are cheap, everywhere, and so are t-350 cores. The adapter for the s-10 is thicker than the normal adapter by almost two inches, and only uses FIVE studs to hang the case, not SIX, like everything else. The s-10 t-case is still an np 231 so all the goodies still fit: SYE, 2wdlow. But the Dodge 241 gear upgrade will not because of the input spline count, sooo pick your poison. ME, i will run the s-10 stuff until it blows, then get another for about 50-60 dollars, and do it again.
