I believe that was done a number of years ago by Reeves Callaway in CT. I drove one of his "Vette-Ranger" creations that had that motor and a 5 speed tranny. It hauled, but had too much torque for the suspension...it really twisted when you jumped on it! JF

Forget it, you are replacing the tranny, t/case both diffs and drive shafts along with a huge expense in adding the engine, oh and a new suspension to hold the extra weight.
