NP229 input shaft to NP208??

[jtr]

I have a Ford NP208 laying around and I was curious if the input shaft from the current t-case (NP229) would swap in? Anyone with experience on this? Thanks

That was something I looked into at one time. I have swapped GM inputs into the Jeep 208. I also compared the NP229 and NP208 inputs and they apear to be the same thing. Just have never actually done the 208 229 input swap. I gather you are thinking of a Ford Trans in front of a Jeep NP229? Personally, since you have the Ford 208, I would use that. The 208 is a far better than the 229

I want to swap the Ford 208 into the waggy and keep the 360/727 combo. If I could trade for a Jeep 208 I would do that. Since I have both (t-cases) it seems like it would be easy enough to change input shafts. Total motivation is $$.

Total motivation is $$.Well like I mentioned I believe the inputs will swap over, but what is going to be different is the way the Bolt Patern is clocked on the Ford vs the Bolt Patern on the Jeep. I think you would be further ahead to hold out for the NP208 Jeep version. If you are able, I have a good basketcase NP208 I would sell.

Thanks, prolly run the NP229 until it breaks. Just want to get it on the road, I've also thought of a dodge 203 range box mated to a Ford 205...who knows?? Just wait and see what I have laying around at the time.
