617 into small truck or jeep.

Hey all,

I am going to get the wheels rollin on a project that will take a 617 engine and 722.3 tranny. My first thoughts were to look for a late model jeep or small truck. I would think that an auto vehicle would make for a easier conversion however a 4x4 might give more space. I would like to stick with later model vehicles and prefer american made. I could ramble on and on about this dream/project, but I'll just say I've done some searching around here and come up a little short. If any one knows a thread, website, person to call, etc, etc. Turn me on! Ultimately, anything can be done. I have not bought the vehicle that will take the MB drive train and would like to start with a vehicle that most easily takes the transplant. I have the ability to do most anything regarding fabrication, but don't want to recreate the vehicle , just modify it. I hope to have project done in a year or two.
