2wd or 4wd? auto or manual? its actually a very easy swap!

a few years ago, back in college, (UMaine) there was a guy with a Ford 302 in one. It was all done up for offroading in the snow n' stuff.. it was pretty sweet though.. there was a lot of custom work into it though so it couldn't have been cheap...

Give advance adapters a call. They make a kit and so do a few other people.
Locally I know Tim http://www.shakerbuilt.com/ has done a few and Larry at cornfed suspension has one in his truck.
