T-18 to Dana 20 and 304

[K85k03]

I was wondering if a T-18 out of an 87 ford would fit into a 76 cj-5 with an 304 and a dana 20 t-case?

No. Sorry keep looking for a granny first CJ T18.

Think about using the Ford tranny with an adapter and a dana 300 you will be slightly poorer but happier in the end.

So if I go with the Dana 300 would the input shaft of the ford T18 work? or would I have to change the input shaft? I was just wondering because I have a t18 out an 87 ford just laying around.

You will need to change the T18 output for either tranny. I agree about using the d300. Much more options when you go that way.

The Ford Tranny will mate to the AMC engine using a factory AMC bellhousing and a special pilot bushing, the problem is that you will need to buy an adapter to mate it to a Jeep transfer case. As long as you have to spend the money for an adapter you may as well go with a dana 300. I am not even sure anyone makes an adapter to go from a Ford T18 to a dana 20 T/C

Advanced Adapters. A used D300 goes for about 175-300.
