Divorced or not!
Divorced or not!
What is a stronger unit?? the 1974 divorced transfer case or the new process out of a 1978? I was thinking of swapping my 390 4 speed out with the divorced unit for a 460 with 400 4 speed and an attached the new process.
I am hoping to get more grunt out of the 460. The truck is my Rooster 74 crew 4x4 with 4.10's and 35" tires and a detroit locker for hunting.
I have a 460 out of a lincon and the 4 speed and transfer case out of my 78 super cab with the 400 4 gear.
What do yah think?

I agree with RTM, there's no difference in the strength of the cases themselves but divorced cases give you one more place for failure. That being said, if you have a stout intermediate driveshaft build for a divorced setup you'll be good to go. Do a search for Proeliator and look at the truck in his gallery. He's running over 600hp and hammering the crap out of his truck with a divorced case. I know he's blown up the rear drive shaft but never the intermediate.
