After a lot of thought, and a lot of time spent looking at gas prices, I decided to go for the Gm 6.2l diesel. Marks 4x4 in Australia makes a gm smallblock swap kit for RR's consisting of an adapter plate. engine mounts, and a few other odds and ends, However, the entire kit, minus the engine will run you about 900 dollars shipped to your door. In the long run, it's much cheaper to buy a 6.2l diesel and a 700r4 and just fab some mounts to make it fit perfectly. I know that 700r4's had either a 27(early) or 32(late) spline output shaft. This combo was typically mated to an Np 208 t-case, in Gm trucks, which is rumored to have the same input shaft dimensions as the B/W 1361, aka our t-cases. The purpose of this thread is to find out if that rumor is true, so that I can source the correct 700r4 for the project. I'd hoped someone on here had that information...
