The top parts off the frame for the engine mounts need to be changed,,... the 292 mounts are in different locations than necessary for the V8. The rockwell transfer case which is probably in your truck now will use u-joint type connections for the drive shafts... depending on the year your np205 is from you may have a need for different type mounts for affixing the drive shafts to the transfer case. If the NP is from between 70-75 you should be OK.

Check the 4x4 board. This has been discussed there at least a couple of times.
