I have done it and am pleased with the results. 4 on the floor is right. You will need a different bell housing that will accommodate the pedals. Got mine through Jim Carter. I also had to get a starter that fit the new bell housing and the existing flywheel.

I have an open drive shaft so I had my front drive shaft shortened. I don't have anything to help on the torque tube other than swap it out. You could also get a better gear for the diff. if you did this.

I just changed a SM 420 with a torque tube end to an open shaft end with a couple of Novak parts. They may be able to help you on this, at least with parts.
