Yes. But 5-speed & related transfer is geared to use 3.54:1 diff ratios, not 4.7:1, which will make it scream. If you're still using stock gearbox/transfer w/ new eng, I see no reason to have troubles with gearing, nothing has changed. I suggest you overhaul gearbox asap. Full-time systems have CV joint front axle shafts, use 1980 109 V8 types in your axle if 5-speed fitted. MG
