I believe that tranny is to long. The drive shaft angles become to extreme.

Yes, The GM Turbo 400 is a long Transmission but they were used in CJs of the late '70s. They were always mated to the QuadraTrac Transfer Case . If you get one of those transmissions use this adapter to mount it to your Dana 300
Adapting the TH400 to the Jeep Dana 300 Transfer Case
You will also need both drive shafts modified for length.
An excellent Transmission . Well worth the effort.

I stand corrected. I always thought that combo was to long for a CJ.

You can ALS use a GM Turbo 400 short output shaft and the factory skinny adapter for a 205 they fit as well. If you go the 400 rout let me know the 1-2 shift while still in 1 really "@():$) but its a free fix.

No, probably not. It depends on your driveline. The AMC 304 was not offered in '83. It must have been swapped in. The AMC 304 is from the '70s and I am willing to bet the tranny and maybe the TCase are also from the '70s. If your '83 has a Dana 20 TCase then it will not be easy to install without 2 adapters.
The answer is maybe and there are a lot of variables. You might want to start a new thread.
