Which split case for v8 swap?

[Jeff Elliott]

Hi All -

I bought a tranny and xfer out of an '82 FJ60 along with the 2F which is bound for my 40. I held on to the tranny as a spare for the 40 and the split case thinking I might use it for an eventual v8 swap into my 80. I've done some searching and see that the later models of split case had a slightly larger shaft (38mm) but couldn't determine if the smaller version I have is useless in this application or no?

Many thanks,
Jeff

Your smaller shaft split case will do just fine.

So if I already have a converted to part time Tcase there's no reason to go split case? Just confirming

The 80 case is marginally stronger & more durable than the 60 split case. Keep the 80 case if possible. If converting to H55, then use a split case.
