A4ld swap??

Arctic Wolf · Mar 3, 2009

Hey all.. Ive recently picked up a 87 BII and the tranny seems hooped. Could you tell me what else would fit into its place? I really at this point of time dont care if its got overdrive or not I just want to get it moving.. I was reading that maybe a C-5 might work any insight on that. Also I was told that it should have a dummy transfer case which I looked and it dose not So Im assuming thats good news.? I was told a Areostar tranny should fit into its place but as far as I can tell its only one year of areostar that can ( 86?)
Anyways if you could help me out here it be much appreciated
Thanx

Any other A4LD from a 2wd BII or 91-94 2wd Explorer will bolt right in, although some 2wd BIIs may have the dummy t-case. Also any 2wd Ranger from around 87-94 with a 2.9 or 4.0.

A4LD's have a very unique oil pan...Hard to miss...It's all flat until you get to the middle of it, and then it has like a downwards 'cone' in the middle of it. (kinda looks like a huge nipple sticking out of it, about 2" dia.)

Most of the ones at the local yard I deal with have (or had...) the dummy transfer case in use. Might want to verify you have a A4LD. (Notice the "Most" part...I've only seen a few..and frankly that can't cover the entire line Ford used).
