So did I get a good deal?

[nabes68]

I found a np435 on Craigslist today five min from my house. So I called the guy it was listed as a ford 4 speed. I went and looked at it today and got it. I traded a billet oval air cleaner for it that I got FREE from a friend that have me two of them so it didn't cost me anything it is out of a f250 divorced transfer case. I have not opens it up yet or counted the shaft splines but it should be the right one I hope of not I'm not out anything. So now what do I Need to do get an adaptor for my d20? When I install it I will put my 2 inch body lift on and my inboard shock mounts. I am having a good day so far but like I said I have not opens it up yet

You did pretty good.

I got a 6 cyl housing in the classifieds, and you will still need a adapter plate, but that should be everything you need. (assuming you have a manual trans bronco) .

 

[NYLES]

you done good but that adaptor is 389$

 

[nabes68]

Yeah it's 349 but the trans was free and yes I have a man trans. I seen somewhere on a heep forum a guy made a adaptor plate

Tom's has it for $295 plus a core charge.

I did this swap in the late nineties and that's all I had to buy. Just make sure your tail shaft has the correct spline count. Sounds like it should.

Ok cool deal hope to order it as soon as I can. how hard is it to shift with the np435 shifter?
And do I need a new cross member or anything like that

You can buy a 1" spacer for $125 and the 6 cup tail housing for under $100. So for about $250 you'll have everything for need. (Nuts and bolts and gasket silicon)

buldozer runs a gear banger on his a reg shifter would be under the dash

I like it. It shifts like a big truck instead of the hit or miss feel of the three speed. The throws are quite long unless you get a Gearbanger shifter. I want to build my own sometime.

Crossmember stays the same. I built a 1" hump on my tranny tunnel out of a cake pan to clear the top of the NP435 because I don't run a body lift. Youll have to heat and bend the shifter to make it clear your dash.

Where do I get a 1inch spacer and 6 cup tail housing?

You'll see them for sell on here in the classifieds and on ebay and such. Ive never heard it called a 6 "cup" housing before. lol. Its just the intermediate housing that goes between the transmission and Dana 20 on Broncos with 6 cylinder motors. Pretty common. And a member on here by the name of Kurt makes the adapter plate.

As I said in the first posting, I have one...
