'79 Bronco Transfer case question

My transfer case needs new seals all round.

I may be able to get a Bronco of the same year with a bad engine. The only issue is that this Bronco has an auto tranny whereas mine has the T18 4-speed.

So will the transfer case from an auto tranny match my T18 too?

If not, what do I need?

Thanks.

Ben

as long as the auto has the same tcase it will bolt right up. Meaning if the auto has a 203 and you have a 203, if the auto has a 205 and you have a 205 they are a easy swap. Now if you have a 203 and the other has a 205 they will swap right over except your drive shafts will nto be the right lengths. Which brings up another point. 78 broncos use 1310 series u joints and the 79's use 1330 series, they are not swapable between the 2.

When I twin sticked my 205 I bought a complete seal kit is it like $30 from any drivetrain shop.

Thanks Jopey. The seller has not responded so I may still end up rebuilding the transfer case myself.
