thanks. i found out that the donor vehicle is a '79 model. i can make the axle swap, i just need to know about the transfer case. the motor was a 20r. just ned to know what all i would need to use this transfer case with my v6 and automatic tranny.

thanks again. i plan on dropping a small block in it this fall. curious to see how the v6 does, it has been completely rebuilt and has only about 5000 miles on it. who knows, might even be worth something to someone that wants a low mileage v6 with an auto tranny and gear driven transfer case all in one package!

1990stock, i'm sure you would have to get a new driveshaft, as for the swap being hard, yours may be a little more tricky than mine only because your gen 2 never had a solid axle under the front. i think 84's to 89's were that same as in usind the same frame and other stuff.
