Get a 98 or up V6.
Change motor,harness, and tranny.
Change out the K-member and do the lower A-arms with hals at the same time.
Drive shaft is the same but you do need to change out the carrier inside the rearend. It is a one wheel wonder carrier. Put a posi unit in it and you are done.
If you found a beater V6 for a really good price, you could do it for $16000.
