I am swapping out my 2.9 for a 2.3t
I have 2 m50d's, a v6 4x4 version with a chunk taken out of first gear, and a working 2.3 2wd version. I was thinking i could just swap the tail shaft housings and have what i need (cuz I'm going to need the 2.3 bellhousing, but I want to keep my 4x4). After removing the the tail housings, I realized they wont just swap, the bolts line up, but the 2wd tail shaft is longer, so it looks like i need to swap internals too.
My question is, what all do i need to swap? Everything, or just what's connected to the tail shaft? Should I buy a rebuild kit, or can I just straight swap parts?
Also, if there is something in the tech library about this, I couldnt find it. And please don't waste your time if this has been asked before, a simple link to the thread would mean the world to me! thanks!
