I recently bought a 1986 Bronco with the 4.9 and a 4speed (aluminum 4th gear is overdrive) and an NP208 transfercase. I also have a T-18 out of a 1986 F-150 2wheel drive that had the 4.9 in it. What woud I need to buy or preferably find (in a salvage yard) to put the T-18 into my Bronco. I have looked on the back of the aluminum transmission and see that it has 5 bolts that bolt the transmission to the tailshaft and the T-18 has 4 bolts, so I know it is not a direct replacment. I have the motor out for a rebuild and would love to do this transmission swap while the motor is out.

Okay, I dont understand how the 2 wheel drive tailshaft can stay with the transmissions, there is no way for it to attach to the transfercase. Maybe I miss-worded my problem. The T-18 is out of the 2 wheel drive and I want to put that into the Bronco. So is that possible? Is the T-18 the same transmission for a 2 and 4 wheel drive?
