will the transfer case from my diesel bolt up to the exact same truck just gasser?

 

YES!!! Well that was an easy answer! There is some things like slip yoke vs. flange mount to deal with but the t case will bolt up its the driveshafts to worry about.

 

how about the 5speed from the gasser to the diesel?

 

Nope!! The pattern is different BUT you can try to adapt a 460 ZF 5 to a IDI by drilling out some holes. It has been done

 

no gas to diesel will not work the gas trans is not built as strong as the diesel trans.
there have been reports of diesel ZF to 460 modifications, but i would not ruin a trans by drilling it.
i would sell the gas trans and buy a diesel one.

 

Just to confirm, as I was wondering this too, the T-Cases will swap between diesel and gas models? Does auto Vs. standard mean anything to the T-Cases then?

 

Speaking of TC's how do you fill it and how much ATF does it take?

 

transfer cases do not care what trans they are bolted to. ford transfer case bolt patterns are all the same.
i have a BW 1356 case out of a 351 powered F150 in my 88 diesel. it now has over 200,000 miles on it.
i blew the original t-case in the truck around 270k miles.
the only thing done to it was a rebuilding before i put it in since it had around 150,000 miles on it when i got it.

 

I think they hold about 2 quts of atf, 3 should be plenty. I get one of those caps that comes on the gear oil bottles and screw it on the atf botlle, stick it in the filler hole and squeeze the bottle. You can get most of the fluid out of the bottle this way.
