Should be interesting. RedMM340 had the Scorpio 2.6 plonked in his MM340.

Sree, I read that thread with great interest, would this kind of conversion hold true for the double lever t-18 case as well ?

Assuming that I buy a 2.6 CRDe Scorpio engine, get a NGT 530. Will it mate with the t18 2 lever case which is in my JEEP ?

I don't see a reason why it should not. Essentially xfercase remains same. Double liver is a simple mechanism whereas single lever has linkages. There is no other difference. I have a single lever T-18 transfercase.

Thanks
--Sree--

Sorry if this is a bit of a dampener but the NGT520/530 BA10 2wd gearboxes cannot be directly bolted on with any transfer case. You need an adapter plate for the T18 and a different kind for the BW transfer case.
This is the adpter for the BW transfer case on the right. The adapter on the left is from the stock 2wd gearbox.

This is the NGT to T18 adapter.

This might turn out to be the offroad package a lot of people are waiting for. Will keep watching.

Really exciting specifications. Looking forward to the build. Have you sourced the 550 as well, and what happens to it's powertrain?

Allan where are the WIP picture?

Whats the status of the work as of now:Frustrati

pictures soon
work started today
need to source parts

yes 550 is from my army stock
the original drive train goes into my stockclap:

aussi lockers for now
just trying to source them
anyone knows of anyone coming down from usaplease:

the jeep ones are 20k i think

ps will be of the bolero

happy feet shall dance tonight,(health permiting that is)

special thanks to jyobeb and arka for answering all thoses calls and for all the information.

i myself just transformed the 2wd ngt530 to a 4wd ngt530 with a manual borg warner transfer case

thanks again for all the help, rest assured lots more calls till this project is complete.

pictures as soon as i find the usb (during tonights match)

Please post WIP pics. How much did the engine and tranny cost you?

Spike

Glad to be of help Allan.
Just one more thing. If the tyres you plan to use are 31 inchers, you will have to change your diff ratios to 5.375:1 (43/8). Anything bigger and you will need the 5.75:1 diff.
Using the stock 4.88 ratio will rob your engine of all power.

where did you get this transmission from?

ok here goes,
project on in full swing

body has been removed off the chassis to start full sanding of the body as well as the chassis




the engine


the ngt 530 3wd gearbox



the ba10 4wd gearbox with the manual borg warner transfer case



now the process to remove the transfer case from the ba10 and put it onto the ngt530







and voila the ngt 530 with the manual borg warner tranfer case, what some say is rareclap:




aussie lockers are on their way:)

Hi Allan,

Nice JEEP, Nice Colour and Nice Mechanical Upgrade.

Now for a Custom Skid Plate & Winch Plate.

Keep 4.88:1 Differential Ratio and Maxxis Big-Horn (245-75-16 Tyres on the Army Rims and Rear Auto-Lockers)

I would suggest to keep the looks sober, like a stock Army MM550XD, but the performance will be scorching.

Very Interesting Project.

Regards,

Arka

Hmm, interesting. This combination ^^ is present in a few export 4wd models.

PS- Allan what about the rear propeller shaft. Is the position of the transmission mounting cross member the same?:D
