Id find some kind of sprocket or something that I could bolt to the rear pinion and then mount the motor to the axle instead of going to all the trouble of swapping in a t-case.

Plus unless you have V8 running gear, once you replace the tail housing the Chrysler t-cases that will bolt up to your truck are chain driven. By hooking up your motor to the front output of the case you'd have to deal with the extra loss of putting power through the chain, plus you'd have to be in 4WD all the time for it to work.

What rear end do you have? The 8.25 or the 7.25?
