I do not think they make the 5" adapter anymore, but you can contact them and ask
my 1988 Bronco II uses the 4r70w to 1354 adapter and I wish I had never done this. Why?
Because Advance Adapters cost is like $600
Then you have to completely dis assemble your 4r70w transmission in order to install the output shaft that comes with the adapter
So a transmission rebuild / refurbish at the very least is required.
Now you will be stuck with a 4r70w transmission that is custom, meaning you cannot just use any 4r70w from a V8 explorer for the life of the truck you are stuck with the converted unit.
The ranger 1354 t case is a good unit, do not get me wrong. BUT there are other transfer cases that will bolt to the 4r70w WITHOUT the need for the expensive adapter and customized transmission
You can use a 4406m, 1356m, or even Ford NP205. This opens up another world for you as well because you can build a 1356/56 or 1356/205 doubler
Driveshaft modifications are a part of every V8 conversion, no real way around it. Always plan to modify driveshafts and exhaust, ALWAYS every conversion is different. Sometimes we will have a ford vehicle driveshaft here in our collection (I have about 50 driveshafts for cores) that will come close to working, but almost never be a direct bolt in.
I build my own front driveshafts most of the time, but I still pay to have the rear shaft modified to fit our ranger conversions (usually F150 shaft shortened/retubed) this should run about $250-350 HALF THE COST OF THE ADAPTER!!! let alone the added expense of installing the output shaft into your 4r70w trans. This winter I will be installing a new 4r70w into my Bronco II and finally be ditching that AA adapted custom trans I have (I plan to run a doubler)
4r70w has a Ford 6 bolt pattern with 30 spline output shaft, many t cases made that will bolt to this......
Even if you use the AA adapter chances of you keeping your existing driveshafts are SLIM, the T case will MOVE behind the V8. 5" adapter is great for the BII, 9" adapter works fine in everything else.
Yeah but aren't those all manual shifts? I would like to retain the electronic shift. And how would the 4406 mount?
