you can't just swap crossmembers as the frame horns are -way-
different.  if you want to cut and swap the front subframe and inner
fender panels you could do it...

a 2wd tranny would be possible.  gears included 2.35 and 2.73 with
258s and 3.54 with 4-cyls, and probably others.

i agree with joe [?] though; if it's in good shape it's worth more as
it is.
