The issue isn't the tcase, they didn't use them in 84 at all so your not going to find a 205 that says it's for a 84. I have seen it done but you do have to modify a few things. first you need to put a brace on the frame to hold the side or you will end up cracking the adaptor and or transmission, second the drivveshaft won't clear the crossmember so you need to modify or build a new transmission crossmember. Next depending on what transmission you have there may not be an adaptor for it to the 205 so you will have to modify that also, on this I am not sure as everyone I Have seen do it and it's only been a couple used a C6 which there is an adaptor that fits that combo.

When I put the 205 in my 81 Bronco ( came with a 208 ) I had to grind a spot on the adapter to clear the shift rail on the transfer case. Mine is an np435 4 sp. I also did the crossmember mods and made the brace like Monsterbaby said. I also had to get different driveshafts, because the 205 is shorter than the 208.
EDIT: and by the way, Cutts- you need to get a girlfriend in Florida too. I need some parts!
