Thanks for the replies thus far. My tape measure suggested it was a no- go. That's why I asked. The Vortec raider project is way more involved than I am willing to do. At least on the Montero. I'm having a transmission shop swap the guts of the Montero 904 into the front part of a small block Mopar 904 case and keep the rest of the drivetrain in the stock location. That means no required body lift but I may want to do an inch for tires. Don't even need to do that for the 32 x 10.50's I have purchased.

83 mitsu flat bed 2.6l weber, 88 auto tranny, 2" body lift, 4.625 LSD, 235/85-16E mudders (33 x 9.50).
