Transmission debate...

Well Im in a pickle for a desission to make. My local JY had a 4 speed tranny, T18 with np208, in an 80's f150 and I told them I wanted it. Well called them up and turns out that the bellhousing was broken on it and so was a collar. They have a few f250's out there with the 351 under the hood and the trannies behind those are 5 speed and have a transfercase that involves me pushing the knob down before shifting into 4lo. Anybody know what kind of transfercase this is? The truck looks to be from the 90's. I know that a 351 bellhousing has athe same pattern as a 302 and all it would take to make it work would be to get the proper clutch and flywheel for the type of 302 I have. Above all I just want to stay with a hydrolic clutch. Im told it could be a BW1356 and for those to fit between the frame rails, I would have to notch the frame a bit to get it to fit. For the price though, its kinda hard to pass up, $250 that is. I really want a 5 speed to help with gas too.

It will be an M5OD-R2 or a ZF(if it has a pto cover on the trans), and the case will be 1356

Can any other transfercases hook up/bolt on in place of the current one and if so know of which one(s)?

From what I have read, both transmission are good. I may just get that transmission and call it good but first see if any other transfercases can hook up.

Any small block trans will bolt, and any full size case will bolt to any small block Ford tranny. A good case would be the 205 from a 70's f series, or a 20 from an EB. The 20 will need a spud shaft from AA, but other than that will bolt up...

Thats the info I was looking for. I want to have an np205 so that i can dual stick it later. Knowing that I may just go get the tranny monday.
