This thing was built by Jasper in 1986 (still has the tags on it) and then sat in my grandfather's barn for the last 32 years. It's dirty and has some surface rust, but it still turns by hand and the internals look great. See picture below. Gallery here: https://imgur.com/a/4K5MZ3q
We're trying to clean out the barn, so make an offer!
And if you're interested in old Jeep parts, he's got a ton of other stuff in there -- engine, drivetrain, interior bits. Mostly for J10/J20s and SJ Cherokees. I have pictures if anyone's interested.
I'm in Tennessee and this stuff is in Ohio, but I'll be up there around Thanksgiving. I can grab stuff and store it for a bit, but I'm really hoping someone will haul at least the engine away this month. Comes with a free period-correct stand!
The engine whore in me wants this bad but I have nothing to put it in. He wouldn't have a full time AWD divorced transfer case would he?

Do any of these things look like what you're after? https://imgur.com/a/BhUzMei
In reply to saruken :
I think I see 6 transfer cases there. I'd want a BW 1305 or an NP203. Hopefully they have tags on them?
If you’re around next friday or Saturday i can come by with a little cash and see if i can use anything and see if i can ID one of the transfer cases for Stampie.
i’ll be home from Michigan Thursday night after turkey fest
The three tcases i see in the background of the pic are all quadratracs with out the low range. They are full time (well sort of full time) but they are not divorced, and both output shafts are offset to the passenger side, not just the front, so you would need a rear axle to match. They did have a follpwing in the offroad racing community in the 70s.
In reply to gearheadmb :
Are those the quadratracs that came attached to the Jeep version of the TH400? If so they might work.
Yeah it would be. Those were the 76-79 version that matched to the TH400. Had one of those in my FS cherokee with a 401. Worked really good.
Any 4 cyl jeep engines by chance? Would be looking for a trans/t-case to go with it. Cousin has a 50's willys he's resto-modded, and that's all that's he's got left to put in for a running/driving classic.
In reply to saruken :
If you can hook up with Patrick that would be great. Any idea on what he wants for them? Bulk discount?
Stampie and Patrick:
Friday 11/23 would be the best day for me to meet up. I'm super busy this weekend but I will try to dig around for tags, pictures of tags, and other potentially identifying info off the cases. As for price, we really don't know what it's all worth and mainly he just wants it out of the barn because he's trying to sell the building. So I trust GRM people to make a reasonable offer.
Mr. Lee:
No other engines back there, unfortunately.
Also:
One thing I forgot to mention too, is there's a whole engine testing rig back there: https://imgur.com/a/ipyXxCA
Don't know anything about it, but sure would be happy to give Granddad some cash and see it gone, if anyone's interested.
Definitely interested in the test stand because i was going to build one at some point here anyway
my number is 330 two four two 0771 shoot me a text and I will come out next Friday. I will bring a small low trailer just in case, because i hate lifting heavy stuff. I have already informed my wife that we’re going to Akron next Friday (we’re in Medina county so not far)
While y'all are looking can you make sure there's an adapter that came with them? Guess it looks like this?
Texted with Patrick a bit, and he's got dibs on the engine rig.

Emailed you.

There is also most of a 6th gen Thunderbird interior out there, plus a full tail light assembly:
