I’m currently working doing a 460 swap on on my 1986 f-50, I was wondering if it matters too much to put in a divorced t case or should I try and find a normal one. I’m going to swap in a c6. I found a great deal on a c6 with a divorced t case on it that directly attached to the trans. Would it be possible to just put that in I know sometimes the t case is mounted to the frame on the divorces ones. Any info will be helpful! Thank you!

 

Regular setup bolts in place. Divorced setup requires fabrication.

Maybe I’m wrong. I believed a regular transfer case mounts to the rear of the transmission and then has a cross member it bolts to.

a divorced transfer case is not connected or bolted to the transmission. It is “divorced” and there is a driveshaft between the transmission and the transfer case, and transfer case is still bolted to a cross member

 

You are correct. Thus, fabrication is required to add and move crossmembers, and also to shorten the driveshaft going to the rear. And then you have the transfer case lever and how it comes up through the floor.

 

Thanks for the info, ill be keeping my eye out for a c6 and t case.

 

C6 is gonna need 4wd tailshaft

 

only if the tcase bolts to the trans.
if the c6 is 2wd and has a long tail shaft that iuld cause issues on fitting everything in place.
