I know this is going to sound mean, but if you have to make a thread like this then you're clearly not ready for the complications involved with this kinda swap.
With that being said. You have to worry about mounts, header clearance, adapting a transmission and rear cross member issues, along with finding a t-case that will work with a driver side drop. You will also need to have new drive shafts made, find a way to shove a much larger radiator in there because the stock cooling system is inadequate.. and that's just some of the harder stuff.
As for the spelling... I suggest using a spell check because this is a written forum. Your spelling and grammar mistakes make it harder for people to read and help you.

Ya know what folks he posted a thread to get some help and ideas. He did not make a post to have you guys to bash his spelling or his desire to do something different. I get quite tired of seeing folks post crap in tech threads. If you have nothing constructive to say that will actually help then go post somewhere else.
By the way I am cleaning this thread up.
