  Will, I had a customer that did this on his Syncro Westy and ran that
way for years until he brought it here and we put the syncro
transmission back in.  You will need the 2wd Transmission and the mount
at the nose of it and four bolts to bolt it to the frame.  The bolt
holes are already there with nuts welded into them, but you might want
to chase them with a tap since they have never been used.  That is about
it.  Everything else swaps over and bolts up.  Of course you would also
have to remove your front to rear drive shaft as well but that should be
obvious.
