What power are you running????if anything over the 300 ish hp mark then you will need the 2wd rear end and 7.5 inch diff..
The starter motor the sandwich plate between bellhousing and block i think that covers it..
cheers danny

to be honest i really cant be bothered with the coversion but its the only option i can think of. though if i bought uprated driveshafts, those mixed with the collins mounts should do the job?
