I've been thinking about this since Axis came out with their split case option and just came across these on the AA site. This would allow me to use my existing T case and seems much more affordable than the Axis split case adapter or an H55/split case swap.
I believe TLC was using the AX-15 or NV3500/NV3550 behind LS engines, connected to an Atlas TC, in their stick shift Icon builds based on some videos I've seen. I would just be looking for something nicer to drive behind my F engine. More gears, syncros, and an OD (not that the F likes to make revs, but that's why I want to keep them down if cruising on the highway.)
Given the F bell housing can be used to adapt to to a GM trans like the SM420, something like this should get me pretty close on the nose side. Its been done with an NV4500 just to see if its possible.
The TR-4050 looks like a really interesting option for someone who building something more hardcore, and Fourwheeler had some great things to say about it
Am I missing something here?

yes I think that should work. You’ll need the 10.5” chevy clutch disc and figure something out for a pilot bearing.
i did this with an NV4500 in 2016.
NV4500 Conversion - Full Write-up
Ahead lies over a year of my research, parts sourcing, and a lot of headache. This is how to put an NV4500 behind your 2F or 3F/3FE engines. This can also work behind a 2H/12HT with a custom adapter plate. I won't go into depth on different transfer case options right now, this is just how to...forum.ih8mud.com
