Hey I'm new here, but not to the off roading scene. I have whats left a of a Jeep. D60's 108" wb blah, blah blah. I'm looking to start a new project and I have my eye on a 1998 mercury mountainer. It has a 5.0, auto but it has some sort of AWD set up. I have looked thru the tech library and I'm not sure if its a 4403 04 or 05. So my question is whats a good t- case swap for this? looking to do a straight axle swap, its going to be a 8 lug HP44 and 60 swap. Going to be kind of a driver, weekend beater project. I would even consider a atlas etc. if its a straight swap. Any info. will be appreciated.

as far as i know (someone will correct me if im wrong), all RBV t-cases use the same bolt pattern...so you should be able to swap in a 1350/4 manual shift part-time transfer case.

welcome to trs!

OK thanks. So these will all be the same spline count no matter what motor trans combo?

No the 5.0L RBV's use the F150 transmission and an F150 style transfercase.

Check with AllanD on what t-case you have.
