T-18/D20tcase in to 2.5L xj???

If I had a 2.5 l xj stickshift that I wanted to change over to 4x4 and I have a t-18/dana 20 tcase in a 1975 F-100...Is there a jeep cps bellhousing I could use? Or even one that would work and I could use a cps relocation kit? Its a little shorter set up than ax15/231 I compared it to...and I thought the granny low would be nice...

From reading some the T-176 or T-150 bellhousing (from a 6 cyl CJ) will work in bolting up a ford T-18 to the 258...so mating it to the 4 bngr shouldn;t be too hard you just need the right bellhousing and clutch. YOu may have to call novak or advance as well to figure out clutches etc. ALSO I read where parts mike has helped a few folks getting the T-18 into a CJ so it stands to reason he can help putting one behind the 2.5L

What the hell you planning now? Too many projects my friend...finish one before you start another. LOL

I've got to start printing out threads and leaving them on the dash of the project heeps so that I wont have to ask questions when I get around to them...there is just so much potential all around at the shop it drives me crazy not to do SOMETHING new...did I mention the friend I have with the short wheel base isuzu cab over is almost done getting his parts off it? Guess I really need to finish repairing mine and the wifes xj's first???

I wonder if that trans is too heavy???

I don't think the weight is a huge issue overall. Gear spacing might be a bit wide, I usually like narrower gearing for 4 cyls..

You should be able to find a bellhousing to work. The Jeep 2.5 is the common GM 60 degree V6 pattern, so something from a V6 camaro that went to a T-5 might be adaptable with some hole drilling. Or might even be a steel lakewood scattershield out there. Just need to mount your sensor for reading the flywheel..
