T19 transmission transfer case
Not really sure if there's a special section on here for transmissions and transfer cases but since it will be mounted to a 360 fe I figured someone over here could help me.
I have a T19 tranny from an old ford f350 dump truck with a 360 fe and it's 2wd. I believe the motor and transmission are from a 1969 truck but I'm not 100% sure since the truck has about a billion different parts on it. Maybe I could run numbers? Something that separates the years on these motors??? But anyways.. I'm taking the motor and trans out of this truck and putting it in my 87 f150. I need a transfer case for it now. is there a difference between the 2wd t19's and 4x4 t19's? Is there a divorced t case that will work on this t19? Or a married one?
Also the 360 is going to be built up (I'm gathering parts now) to around 400HP if that matters. Probably stroking the motor to a 410 or so.
any help is appreciated as always

The NP 205 transfer case is a divorced case, and if you can cobble up a driveshaft, it'll work just fine. Just be aware of the mointing/stability problems with the divorced case when you get into more power. There was a support rod (whatever you call it) for the full-time 4WD highboys if I remember correctly, and that would certainly help.
My '74 highboy had the NP 205 divorced case.
I'm not an expert by any means, but the 4x4 tranny with a non-divorced case uses a different extension housing (of course) but probably also uses a different output shaft.

I can't speak to the T19 directly, but the NP435 does have a different model for the 2wd versus 4wd vehicles. One of those differences is the mounting bosses on the side of the transmission for the bracket that holds the transfer case shift lever. Same with the newer NV4500 - 2wd and 4wd variations of the transmission so they work with a transfer case.
The NP205 is a nice transfer case - tough as they come - and can be had in both married and divorced configurations. Ford is generally drivers side drop for the front driveshaft - as opposed to Chevy and possibly others that are passenger side drop so make sure you get the correct one for your front axle pinion location.

There are a number of companies that provide an adapter. I have a quote from Novak for a T19, adapter, and Dana 20 T-case. I don't think they make an adapter for the T19 to NP205, but if you spend some time in the 4X4 sites you will find that people have done lots of match ups on Jeeps and Broncos that may be useful.
BTW, I know this has been beaten up on the other thread, but you are probably wasting your time on a 360. It is a 390 with a 352 crank, and its low compression design means you will have to spend time and money on the engine to get a middling result. Find a 390 crank and you will have a much better result. 390 cranks are cheap. Failing that, make it a bored out 352 and you will have a better result.

As for the motor Im looking for either a 390 crank or a 428 crank and then a 428 intake manifold and heads or 390 heads and intake

390 cranks are available cheap, 428 cranks in reasonable condition are rare and expensive. Original intakes are also plentiful and cheap, but most are not terribly good. There are a few books you should consider buying: Steve Christ wrote "How to Rebuild Big Block Fords", it does not focus on performance but it has a lot of good info about tear down and inspecting. Barry Rabotnick wrote "How to Build Max-Performance Ford FE Engines", which focuses on building what it says and assumes you are after power, and Jay Brown wrote "The Great FE Intake Comparo" which reports on extensive dyno testing he did with just about every known intake.
I have not read Jay's book, but I have read the other two. Save yourself a lot of time and grief, and buy them and read them.

I'll probably get both the books and read them.. thanks for letting me know about them. And would i be better off getting 390 heads off a car or truck? Or 428 heads? Also is there a difference between a 390 crank in a truck and a car?

No difference, condition is what matters. Not easy to check condition in a junkyard or swap meet, but the books will help you make a better selection, especially when it comes to heads and intakes.
