It can bolt to a 3.2. Not sure how hard it will be to find a 2wd version of the AR-5 trans. I believe there are other versions out there though. Pretty popular tranny.

While doing the 5 speed swap in my race truck my racing partner and I dissected the transmission wiring harness. We were able to do away with the green plug entirely and pretty much reduced the trans wire harness by half. I am considering offering a swap program where I rebuild the auto wire harness for the swap so that it is a plug and play venture. Just plug it in and everything works! Any interest in such a service?
It's really the bell housing I'm after but if I can put a R154 tail housing on the AR5, even better. If so I'll keep the AR5. I hear it shifts better then a R154 anyways but as it comes out of the trooper, the shifter location wouldn't work.
Ask and ye shall receive...

Awesome! Glad you found it!
BTW, apparently there are also bell housings for the AR5 that adapt the LS V8s!
