Hi all. Just made this account. I really like BIIs (short wheelbase and look) and I've been checking a couple out. Really wanting to get one to turn into an off-road beast.

Done some researching over the past couple months, but a lot of it has been super inconclusive and hasn't answered my questions, especially concerning motor and axle swaps, so here goes:

What all will I need to swap in a 302?
What transmissions will work with the BII and 302?
Will the stock 4spd w/ OD work with a 302?
Is there a specific D44 I should be looking for, to swap the front axle?

Thanks
