Answer
Hi Clark,

That's it. As far as 4x4 w/V8's and automatics go anyway.

A long time ago I had a boss, one of my first jobs as a mechanic, and when we'd get into situations like that he'd always say "A good mechanic could make that fit." And to an extent, he was right. If you're not concerned with some minor fabrication, you can practically put whatever combination of eng/trans in there you have the ability to. People cram big-blocks into Vegas and small blocks into '32 Roadsters so pretty much anything goes.

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
