Great motors and can be built to make more power than could ever be used in our rigs. Modifying the oil pan is no trivial matter though as they are a structural element of the block. The poor ol' 425 is kind of out of place though with about half the gears you'd like. It can be built robustly enough to take the guff though so thats an easy problem to contend with. I am quite curious how your final drive and half shafts would fit-probably need custom length shafts at the least IF the angles can be made to work. The raised step is a non issue IMO and a really simple thing to deal with. You would have to deal with the electronics as well which isn't too bad, either custom made or home built depending on your abilities.
Would probably be a fun project but not for the faint of heart. $$$ is the big thing on a project like this as well as 'stick-with-it-ness' to see it through to the end.
