Ha, nice! This 8 speed conversion isn't my idea by any means but will work for my Mogs application very well. I wanted to post this pic earlier but forgot...one of those days. It shows the gearing and you can see how the low range overlaps into the high range which makes this such a nice...

Thanks G! The 6, 8, & 20 speeds (I'm not sure on the 24, but I think) all use the same main transmission. 6 & 8's only differ in shifting components. 20 and up have the Cascade box in front of the main trans at the bell housing area. I think because those had so many other gears to select...
