Thinking about swapping to nv5600

hey all, new to this board, but not new to the search button. I've been searcing all over the last couple hours looking for the answer to this question, i have a line on a good priced NV5600 that includes everything except for the pedals/hydraulics. Only problem is it is for a 2wd.... I know for a NV4500, you have to swap out the main shaft and tailshaft housing to mate it to a t/case. What needs done to the nv5600? I can't even find a picture of a 2wd 5600.....

Tail housing at the least. I am not sure if you have to change the mainshaft.
Could end up being expensive.

Crazy $$ nowadays for those 5600's. I just spent $3800. to have mine pulled and rebuilt and put back in. the rebuild alone was $3250. They quoted me a worste case scenerio of $2500 for the rebuild til they started ordering the parts.
