Thats part of my problem, i&#39;m currently running an NP208 (cause i can&#39;t afford the adapters to the Dana20) so my rear shaft is the same length currently, i&#39;ll have enough room for a 3 row radiator in the stock location (recessed in the grill) and still run the factory fan. :-) Nice looking swap.

So i&#39;m also gonna have to figure out something with a VSS huh?

there is a way to short shaft the 208 case to make a longer driveshaft, but i cant remember the combo. that case was a short fixed yoke in either a dodge or ford, and can be hybrid together. the engine needs to be as far back as possible to keep the front axle out of the oil pan and make room for the exhaust to cross under the front of the pan to the right side. a 2" body lift makes all things easer when placing the engine. the right side manifold fits nicely arround the frame and lower part of the body. i didnt even cut the body. pluss it feels beter off road with the weight back futher in the chassis. they kind of get front heavy and scary going down hills.
