Well, first-things-first, if this motor is from a '79 or earlier FSJ, and was orginally mated to a TH400 transmission, then it will have a spacer sleeve in the pilot hole for the torque-converter snout. If you don't remove it, the converter will not bolt up properly, and when you bolt the engine to the tranny, you will destroy the TF727's front pump.

As for transfer-case, you probably have an NP208 if you have locking front-hubs. Slide under the truck with a rag and a flashlight, and see what numbers are listed on the round tag on the back of the transfer case.

As for axles, you have a Dana 44 front and an AMC Model 20 rear axle. All those parts will serve you perfectly well.
