How about converting the V8 to 2wheel, rear drive and take advantage of the off-set yolk on the front axle to run a rear drive 4cyl backward for 2 wheel, front drive. Best I can think, this is the simplest way of doing things but would require major modifications to the truck bed and rear frame to make room and support for the all new power train. Maybe come up with a way for both engines to use the same radiator/share coolant so that you can cut down on "extra" hardware.
