Sorry but, the 4X4 Tran's have short Output Shafts & different Splines and wont work for 2X4 use. The Trans will have to be dis-assembled so the Output Shaft can be swapped with one from a standard length Trans, then a standard Tailhousing can be used.
I know this isn't what you want to hear. :(

Hey. Sorry for the bad news, But the 700R4 form a 4X4 will not bolt up to a drive shaft. The 700R4 from the 4X4 needs to be taking a part to remove the 4X4 tail shaft and tail housing, Then the right tail shaft and tail housing came be installed. Doug
