Info:
The Borg-Warner T18 & T19 Transmissions - Novak Conversions
2) The year of the T18 does not matter as long as you are after '66 or so, to make sure of the bell to trans pattern. And condition is more important than age--although age certainly can drive condition.
As for trans to TC, you may need a different adaptor with the T18, but if you get one out of a 4x4, you may get the proper adaptor with the trans.
What TC do you have?

i picked up the t18 a couple of years ago for a jeep build but never used it i checked it to the stock t170 and it will bolt to the bell housing but not the t case im lost because the cheapest t170 i can find is 550.00 another question i have is the slave cylinder is mounted to the bell housing and its hydrolic would this work with the 78 t18

As long as the clutch disc splines match the input shaft, and you confirm the input shaft lengths are the same, you current clutch set up will work.
Does your T170 bolt directly to the TC, or is there a short tailshaft housing or adaptor?
What is the model of your TC?

Any numbers on the adaptor or tc? Seems like there would be only a couple possibilities for the TC.
Choices listed here:
Rebuilt Ford Transfer Cases 12 month warranty no hassel.! - Drivetrain.com
1345 pic:
1345 Transfer Case Borg Warner Parts Illustration and parts list! - Drivetrain.com
NP 208F:
https://www.supermotors.net/registry/media/775155
Once you id the TC, it will be easier to search for an adaptor.
It is also possible that bumping this to the top and putting all these links in here will attract someone with first hand TC knowledge to save the day.

I did a search and found a couple of comments that indicate you do not need an adaptor. The trans bolts directly to the TC.
I find the T18/1345 combo referenced several places, so it is possible it works that way.
Pull it apart and try it....

What that tells us is the adaptor for a 1350 should work also. You can search for that. As far as I can tell, this is going to be a junkyard item.
