My prices were as follows, you naysayers try to keep up.
New:
Built 2wd 4l60e : $1k
4" .125 New DS: $425
Crossmember modification: $0
Circle D converter (not required): $450
Sold:
4wd 4L60e: $350
AWD diff: $350
Front diff and both shafts: $250
Front axles: Trash $0
Variances:
Stock 2wd DS can be bought for $250 (for my model)
Trans crossmember could be bought for $50
Could have went with a used 2wd trans possibly cutting the price in half.
Can use the stock converter
Do the math, I completed the swap, it can be done for next to nothing out of pocket depending on what exact parts you select. I chose to upgrade some so I footed the extra bill. The point is it's not an unreasonable option to consider. I got rid of both sets of hard lines under the engine (oil and trans cooler) and rerouted the exhaust and it is amazing what you can see and work on under this truck now, its a thing of beauty.

I had 3 guys that specifically wanted it. The transfer case sold within 2 weeks to a buddy who was buying it for a future build. The trans sold in a month to a jeep guy and he specifically didnt care about the mileage, he just wanted a verified running unit for his initial mock up and testing of an LS swap jeep, and the front diff guy wanted an extra diff to thrash on for racing and I threw in the DSs too. The diff took 6 months to sell.
