TF999 with Dana 300

[MJT77]

Hey guys,

I am starting to go through my new to me 79 CJ7 . It has an AMC 360 mated to a TF999 with a Dana 300 . The PO did the drivetrain swap and I'm not sure if he did it corretly. Aside from the Marie Callenders pie tin covering the old manual Transmission opening, He cut the floor in order to make the transfer stick fit. Not only that, but it seems that the Dana 300 hangs down pretty low for my taste, but it's mostly due to the Transmission . Is this typical?

Is a T400 any shorter or narrower that would allow the Transfer Case to be raised a little?

I will try to post some pics once I figure out how.

That doesn't look like a Dana 300 to me.

I'm not an expert on identifying things yet, but the case is stamped with Dana with the number c300-15-2. I'm pretty sure that's a Dana 300 .

I cant identify the transfer but it does seem to be hanging down kind of low.

My combination consist of a T-18 from a Ford F-AMC 150 with a Novak conversion to mate it to my Dana 300 . In my case, the adapter allows the Dana 300 to be clocked at different angles. It may be that your Dana 300 and Transmission might have that same ability. I would take a look at where the two mate and see if there are more mounting holes that are not used. Just a possibility.

Doesnt the T-case go up a bit when you put the skid plate back on? I just got rid of the rest of my Jeep that had that combo and the Dana 300 always hangs a little low i.m.o. There are clocking rings out there for a price.

Alright, finally got some pics. Let me know what you think.

I'll have to check that out. I think I need to drop the Transmission to get rebuilt anyways. The 999 is noisy and I'm noticing Transmission fluid at the bottom of the bell housing.

My '80 CJ7 /AMC 304 has a Dana 300 and TF999 ; doesn't look anything like what I see in the pics. Sorry I don't have one handy to put up; will try for one tomorrow morning.
