First remember, the weight rating for the WDX-WM300 front axle is fairly limited compared to the rear axle and the 6BT and 5spd tranny is one heavy package.The weakest point being the steering knuckle kingpins.
As far as fit, after measurements are taken, you will most likely find you have 10 lbs of sugar to try and fit into a 5 lb. sugar bowl and far more power and torque than you need.This is a personal viewpoint and may not be shared by others with more experience. I have found that one can waste alot of time trying so hard to make something work when more would have been gain by searching out a different approach of repowering.
