A316/360 Magnum, is an easier swap


Thanks! Could I use the 727 that is already in the truck along with the converter?

In any of the above you lose full time 4wd transfer case. Up to you if you want to swap the front axle for something with locking hubs which will necessitate a matching rear axle...
Thank you! I really want to keep the current transfer case and front end if possible.
