Subject:Syncro trans w/ diff lock in 2WD?
From:Filcoff, David M.

I'm in the market for a new transmission for my 87 2WD.  An option I'd like
to look into is installing a Syncro transmission with a locking rear
differential.  Has anyone tried this or have any info?  Any aftermarket
locker kits for a standard 091/1 2WD?  If I end up deciding on a Syncro
transmission I'd be looking for a rebuildable unit, not necessarily running.

In a Syncro the engine sits about 2" lower than in a 2WD, is this a function
of the transmission, mounting brackets or the body?
