Hey everyone
This is all getting a bit confusing and complex for me as there is so many choices! Thing is.....
I'm going to convert my 2003 78 TroopCarrier to a high output HD-FTE engine (idea is 300+HP and plenty of torque on the wheel) with a ZF8HP70x 8speed auto transmission! Those parts are fixed no matter what people are think about them as I have them already and really want to give it a go! The truck will be mostly used as I always have, a Overlander and daily driver with some towing and moderate off road use.
My Question is which transfer case to use!? Further i'm thinking about an airlocker in the front diff and a Torsen rear diff to safely get the power on the ground.
The Transfer case will need to be the same bolt pattern/fit as the HF2A as the adapter plate for the 8 speed auto is made for just that. Does the late model (2016-2025) HF1A fit? It should be a great way to go as it is made for the V8. Am I thinking in the right track or am I completly off? What's your five cents regarding this?
Many thanks for any feedback in advance!
