Kim,
Since there is no tank in the rear, can you mount the syncro tranny like a
standard 2WD tranny? I think you were referring to a clearance issue that
would not be present in the 2WD version.

Wishing you many miles of smiles!

There are other issues.......

Like for instance the Syncro transmission is mounted slightly
differently, but that's due to the gas tank being in the rear, not a
functional difference.
