I'm doing a 302 swap in my 92 ranger 4x4, manual, extended cab. I'm using an 88 donar f150. I measured to see if I could fit the BW1356 transfer case. It seems it would be pretty much impossible without heavily cutting into the frame. Has anyone here ever done this, if so do you have any tips.

Thanx

I found this pic of a frame notch for a BW1356 in a Ranger. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/11/web/2147000-2147999/2147219_129_full.jpg

I would box the frame or otherwise reinforce around the notch and make sure the inside corners of the notch are rounded and not square to cut down on the possibility of stress cracks.
