that im sure,,,,right or wrong,,,,,,,,,but what is the trans difference between a 2wd and a 4wd,,,,,,,,,,the transfer and output shaft isnt it???????? maybe modifying the clutch fork and making a bell housing mount instead of the cable.

I swapped out a 2.6 for a diesel last year and everything bolted right up. I'm using the cable clutch that was already on the truck with no problems.
