tailhousing compatibility

can anybody do a quick comparison for me? i need to know it a c6 tailhousing (remember the gear vendors for a c6? im gonna find a manual it seems more efficient) will theoretically bolt to a zf5 or an SROD 3spdOD. Like where it bolts to the tranny. ruled out the SROD3spdOD, so now im waiting for a response on the zf-5

I don't think you are going to find any of the tailhousing bolt patterns interchangeable on the different trannies. That's why Ford always has an adapter bolted to the back of the tranny to make the transfer cases fit on a 4wd.

I believe the gear vendors people will sell you just the adapter, but I don't know how much it costs.
