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.
Try $1000 for salvaged NV4500.
Decide whether you'll be doing 4wd or 2wd. Then buy the right tranny. I don't think you can convert 4x to 2x or the other way around. NV4500 Wiki
