I'm in the midst of this swap right now. I think that the rear end gear ratio and the transfer case ratio are different. If this is true, then that will be the most "problematic" stage of the process. Will not the gear ratio need to be changed in the rear end? I will run in 2WD till that is cleared up. The wiring will have to be changed so that the neutral switch, for starting, and the reverse switch, for backing up safely will operate correctly. I hope that that won't be too stressful. I'll let you know as that is the next step that I will take. . . .( in about one hour). Does anyone know the proper wiring connection to save me some time and some saying bad words that my gramma might not like to hear? Pictures of the entire process would have been nice. However, my camera died on me. (Kodak DC215)

I'm replacing the heads on my 86 Brat. The smog stuff was removed earlier. How important are the two rubber hoses that fit into the front of the intake manifold. I'd like to "clean" up the engine of all the extra stuff. I live in sunny Florida so wold weather running isn't a big problem.
