Have you checked the search engine yet, I'm sure there would be info there on this subject.

The ls1 bellhousing adaptor is made for the larger td tb 42 gearbox for starters.

An rb25 rb30 will bolt up to your gearbox they are a common conversion for the rd28's

You could always find a motor with a box and just run a adaptor for the transfer case.

Marks adaptors do a transfer case adaptor.
