note that for a 700R4 trans swap into a 4x4, the engine will need to be moved forward approx 2". And there is room to do this since the 4x4's eng is mounted about that much aft compared to a 2WD version. Some previous threads on here regarding this discussion, probably worth a search. It's not as simple a trans swap as a 2WD 700R4 swap, but it is doable.
