ok i'm starting to plans the winter Fab Fest like their is every winter at our shop.  this winter it will be my 94 4 door kick into a rock crwler of sorts.  i want 16V(already in truck
), auto tanny, 2 cases, axles are unknown as of right now but most likely they will be a D44 and 9in. both locked.  it will be coils at least in the rear, but most likely all the way around. tires will most likely be the 36/12.50R15 swampers we already have or a set of 33/12.50R15 Goodyear MT's(the ones that look like the old hummer tires) but i think 33's would be too small.  we have been toying with puting a ball in the middle so the frame can flex up to 60 degrees but that won't make it into production. ÂÂ
Now my questions are:
how to swap a Auto tranny into my sidekick?
what year would be easyest?
are they all computer controled?
could i use a 2WD trans witha 4X4 tail shaft?
I'm not worry about cutting sheet metal or beating it with a hammer.  i think i could just take the cable shiter and plop it right onto the 5 speeds  floor right?
