You mean like a Road Ranger?

Anything is possible, but why would you want to?

The conversion would take some engineering. First, you would need to adapt the transmission and bellhousing to the engine, then figure out the clutch.flywheel interface. Next, you'd need to engineer the shifter, then figure out how to install a transfer case (probably a divorced case).

An easier solution would be a Gear Vendors overdrive unit. That would the number of gears you have to select from and give you a deeper overdrive. In the long run it would probably cost less.

Gear Vendors under/overdrive transmissions the most awarded auxiliary transmissions.

You would have to go with a double overdrive in a 13 or 15 speed to get a taller gear that would be a .62 think the tallest of the rest is .73 which is lower than a ZF6.With more than double the weight and over 30" in length.Seems just the width would propose a pretty fair problem

I would probably build a hybrid.Front section of a RTO9509 and rear section from an RTO9513
With a Roadranger trans and a divorced transfer you gonna have one long front drive shaft
You will also need atleast a 4" body lift for the trans to clear the floor
