Swaping M5OD-R2 internals to M5OD-R1 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Will M5OD-R2 internals swap into a M5OD-R1 Case?

Why' I have a a 3.0 ranger motor and want to put in a 203 to dana300 doubler, The only way to do this is to have 31 spline output shaft that the R2 has.
This is for a modified buggy so Clearance is not an issue, The only issue is the bellhousing on the 3.0 Ranger motor. that is why I need to keep the trans case.

Thanks

You may want to look into adapters as the M5R2 output shaft may be longer than the M5R1's. Do a little google'ing on the lengths of the input and output shafts of the two.
