driveline question??

Im in the process of building a rock/offroad rig. its a 92 explorer. The power plant is going to be a supercharged 3.8l from a thunderbird supercoupe. d44 front and ford 9in in the rear. havent decided on gears yet.

My question is what transmission / transfer case would be a good set up or would be a working combo.

I have the stock tc from the explorer. think its a b&w 1350. I also have a b&w 1356 from a f-150. What transmission could i use to mate to either of the tc's and have the trans bolt to the 3.8. I want to go with an automatic trans.

This is a area i am fuzzy in. what works with what and waht will work if u swap this or that. does anyone have any info or input.

thanks
Doug

all tcase adapter bolt patterns are the same, for the most part. A 4x4 AOD should fit the 3.8's bell pattern, and would allow the BW case to bolt up. If your 1356 has the tcase adapter w/shifter, I'd go with that. It's beefier, and has a good low range. As with all rock crawling projects, everything breaks, eventually, and you're always adding more beef, it's an addiction.

the first ones out there had oiling issues, so one of the newer ones from a F150 should do.
