Good morning to all! I was curious as to which transmissions will bolt up to the Jeep 4.0. Right now I believe there is a Chevy trans connected to the vortex swap the previous owner did (haven’t ripped into my MJ for a swap yet). Appreciate the help this far guys! Love the website also quick side note I was told I need to do 10 replies or posts and I was just curious if someone who is a long time user of this forum could clarify that for me

I apologize for what might be a really strange post. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I am continuing my restoration project on my 1986 Commanche 2.5l gas pickup. Four wheel drive. I know it is 4 wheel - from underneath - but: I am in the process of starting on the interior, and I was looking at the high-low lever and the shift lever. What has become rather obvious is that there is no "select-trac" lever on the plastic surrounding the stick shift. Nor is there any place for one. So either the surround is not original, or it is not a ":selec-trac" transfer.. Further investigation shows that the transfer case is a New Process Gear 207AM3. So here are my (admittedly odd) questions: 1) What kind of control did (does) this transfer case have? Is it a mechanical lever, an electrical switch, a vacuum switch, or what? 2)Is this the right transfer for an 86? 3)What parts am I missing? My previous experience is only with military 4wd vehicles. This jeep is the youngest vehicle I have ever worked on, and I admit I am out of my depth. Levers I can figure out....

What transfercase is on the 86' custom? I'm puting a 350 small block in my comanche and trying to see if the transfercase will fit with a sm420 or sm465.
