What do I need to drop in a 700r4 and NP208 into 70 K5?

I have an 88 K5 and I am going to drop the trans and tranfer into my 70 K5. What crossmember can I use. The original 70 crossmember is gone, but I have the one from the 88 K5. Will this line up or should I find a 4x4 crossmember form a 69-72 K5? Has anyone done this swap before? Let me know what you used and if you have pics, that would be great!!

From what i have read on the board, the 700R4 is longer than the stock transmissions. I don't know how the 208 compares for length, width, etc. If your 70 has an NP205, you might be able to mate it to the 700R4. It is a stronger t-case than the 208. I'm sure someone else knows more about this than me.
