WHEW! Now im dizzy!

So whats the cheapest way to do it? As a note I have not bought a truck yet. I am leaning towards a big block though I am told by Advance they have nothing for me but other listers are confused (as shown in the stated parallel thread listed by me in an earlier post) as the bell housing is the same for the SBC as is the BBC.

I also do not know if I will get a 2x4, or a 4x4. But I would think the appropriate NV4500 would either mate to the 205 xfer case or the U-Joint as appropriate with no problems other than the mod to the 4x4 output shaft as stated for the advance adapter.

From what you are stating I would need an MW3 that ebay lists new for 1700 or so, (but I bet I could get from a junk yard for ???, 500???) Add the adapter for 900.

What I really need is a build list with prices and what to look for that is cheapest for both the 2x4 and 4x4.

Thanks.
