Robert, I would start this drivetrain swap by visiting a Auto Salvage Yard that has some donor stuff you are in need of. Even if they dont have any Mavericks/Comets doesnt mean they dont have some parts you will need. I am of course speaking of the Hollander Interchange Manual which is the bible for all junkyards. Once you assemble all the parts you need, at least everything you think you need (stuff makes itself known real fast if ya dont have it) then ask questions here about the actual transplant. We are here to help :)
