I'm in the early stages of installing a 6.5 turbo diesel in my 1977 Royale and am looking at the possibility of using a 4L85e/transfer case and front drive from a later (late 90's, early 2000's). Other than probably having to extend the front step slightly for trans clearance, and considerable fabrication work to mount the power train, it looks like a doable project. It would fix the biggest problem with the swap in that the gearing could be made to really boost the mileage without killing the performance.
Anyone know of anyone that has taken on this challenge, in this direction that is?
