Ummm, NO. It will fuck up your tranny and T/C

You could get a welded center diff, welded VC, or a spool, and find some way to plug the holes in the tranny for the front axles. But even then, the rear drivesahfts and driveshaft will have to take 100% of the torque output. Ask the guys running solid center diffs in AWD mode (4WD really...) how many tcases and rear axles they've broken. ;) If you want to go RWD, do it like everyone else does. 2 speed powerglide, ford rear end, strange axles/suspension/brakes, etc. OR get real fancy and use a liberty or some other drag tranny... Big bucks either way. AWD is badass, enjoy it the way it is.

You could get that JDM switchable tranny, but doesnt that convert it to FWD? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Those are rare and expensive though. I cringed when rizz broke his at the SO this year when we were racing.... To use the switchable transfer ase you also need the switchable tranny too, or a welded/solid center.
