It's almost the same swap as the 435. If you have the 2wd tranny its the best on to have because it has the correct output shaft. If you have the 4x4 the output shaft will need to be changed. Then you need the small 1'' adapter and a stock 6cyl extenshion housing.

Buy the trans thats a good price.

It will work. It pushes the transfer case back 1" from stock. It may or may not cause problems with the driveshaft lengths.

There are a few ways to adapt it. Advanced Adaptors makes a nice kit. There is a way to use an adaptor and a 6 cylinder intermidiete houseing. At one time there were kits that used an adaptor that was 2 cast parts welded together. I have them listed in order of what I consider preferences.

Other then the 1" added length the swap is the same as the NP435 swap.

Just to be sure, what is the T18 out of? Hopefully it will have the Ford pattern for the bellhousing.
