You're gonna have to do something about the linkages. As you probably know, the 435 is all manual linkage, where as your current ZF5 is hydro. You might be able to rig up a mount to mount the slave on the trans to actuate the fork.
I have a ZF5 and a 435 sitting in my shop floor. I have to decide which one I want to put in my '88...

Well my reasoning behind the 4 speed ive heard its pretty bullet proof and with the low tranny gears i could run a more reasonable ring and pinion like a 456 or so for my inline 6 to turn them tires and i dont need overdrive but i need to remain daily driveable so i wanna stay away from a doubler plus i can get a 435 way cheaper and easier than a zf

You won't be able to tell you have a doubler on the road. You leave both t-cases in 2-HI. A doubler is only there when you engage it...
