Well, I took the plunge after much soul searching and place my order for an R2.8 Engine kit and bellhousing to replace the 4.0 in my '99 that gave up the ghost! Planning on R2.8/AOD(w/4R70W guts) and a 203/1356 doubler so that I will retain electric shift 4X4 and have a lever for the doubler. This may be changed to a 203/205 combo. After doing the math this just made much more sense than the 5.0 conversion for me.
hope this finds you are well. Any update on this swap?

The original poster hasn't logged in since January of 2021. I doubt they will be back.

Possibly an unfortunate reason I suspect

Nothing that they did that I know of. It happens on forum pretty frequently. People will login for a while and just stop one day. Sold the truck, life changes, etc. Who knows.
