People have done this before - it is more or less a plug and play even
with some minor fabrication from what I understand.  Beside the fuel
filler location there is some welding required for the steering rack and
for the mounting points for the drive shaft protection.

If I
can install Unimog u435 axles on a Volkswagen LT then this is certainly
possible for you to install Syncro bits on a 2WD!  :-)
