Easy, take out the front drive shafts, fill in the holes where the drive shafts used to be, get a diff-lock for your centre diff, thats pretty much it....

Engine is already longitudinally placed, so no problems there....

you can buy machined plates that fit the gearbox when shafts removed that have splines that still fit into the front diff
