Looks like an awesome project.. what year is the IDI you using ?
Is the current trans 4x4? The easiest thing would probably be to go with a divorced 205. Pretty sure you can get them dropped to either side. If it's a T-18 or t-19 I would be surprised if you couldn't find a compatible GM or IH or Dodge?? Case. Might be easier to swap the front diff.

Didn't they use the T-18 in the jeeps also? I'd be surprised if you couldn't make the t-18 work with a jeep transfercase with a passenger side drop. If it didn't bolt up I would bet worst case would be swapping out a rear output shaft and maybe adapter to a "jeep" style one.
Very cool project. Where's the pics of your hummer?

Might have to do some Frankenstein-ing. Swap the guts of a Dodge np435 into a Ford case and use a Dodge np205, if the front bellhousing patterns don't match.
Np203/205 doubler using a ford np203 and a Chevy 205
Behemoth Drivetrain Strongbox kit with a Chevy output
Atlas/STaK?
Could do the same with the t-18 as the np435, if everything matches up.

shouldnt be too hard to adapt the ford bell to an sm465/205
I'll have to spend some time looking around at the random parts I have around here - I've got a sm465, a 208c, the Jeep's original T10/d20 combo - I would think at some point there was a six hole round passenger case made, but if not hopefully there is a case that I can swap the guts around in. I would prefer not to Frankenstein a tranny.
I really like the doubler idea - hadn't even thought of that. The Jeep has narrow frame rails, so the size of that might end up being an issue.
That behemoth strongbox thing is pretty awesome as well - I wasn't aware of there existence. Anyone know of an overdrive box like that in a similar price range?
