With a compact/light motor like that, probably best to mount/connect it directly to the axle, if you want 4X4, simply mount one to each axle. This will reduce the chances of drive line vibration and friction power loss.

i need to know what i need to do to run 44's do i need a center differential? or can i jist mate the rear drive shaft to the transmission. 520 hp heart with turbo. high pinion limited slip differential in the rear. and the cruiser weighs about 2000lbs
Sorry bud, based on what your saying.......
Removing centre diff so you'd only have RWD for example and then needing a high pinion diff to take the HP for example.

for example means....
k
for example means....
For example it means you don't understand what the center diffs function is and how it relates to making this truck 4wd.
So some quick questions.
- What transmission are you going to use behind this mythical engine?
- What transfercase are you going to use behind the transmission?
- What kind of off-roading are you going to do? With 44" boggers I am guessing mudding?
- Are you going to be doing much rock crawling on 44's? If so I am not sure stock axles are the best bet.
- Why drop $30-45k on just an engine? Not sure this is the right application for that engine, if you want something light just do a turbo 4cylinder.
- I see a new exit with side exit, is that from the old 1FZ?
Why, o, why couldn’t you do this to something else.
Carry on.
BTW I think your passenger side might weigh 5 more pounds due to the pillar still attached.
"for example" in context to you not seeming to know what your talking about, so Ill be more specific:
You want to remove the center diff, which is your transfer case which runs a shaft to both the front and rear axle. To eliminate the center diff and run a shaft directly from your transmission is to eliminate a 4WD vehicle for a RWD vehicle. This would be an example of you not knowing what you are talking about as there are only downsides to this modification and no upsides.
The other example was your wanting to use high pinion diff, nothing wrong with that, but the only conventional diff you would use for 44's would be an aftermarket HP ford 9" or HP D60 probably, which cost more, are not as durable or desirable as the 14B or sterling ford axles for the needs of those tires.
I do not mean disrespect, but from my seat it looks like you don't really know what you are into. My recommendation is to read some of the threads over at pirate4x4 with serious builds and over sized tires, and then come back here so we can tell you to swap in one ton axles from a wrecked ford or dodge along with other drivetrain and powertrain, and then move the front and rear axles out from center and link them if you want to do this one time and not be breaking diffs, birfs and shafts steadily.
Mud truck?
So 2wd on 44's? Just trying to figure out how this truck will be used? What kind of terrain? Are you just going to be putting the 44's on the back? You could save some weight up front just using the 31" tires.
i like the 44x19.5x16.5 boggers im going to do them all the way around. thats very close though hah. it will be used in the sand so your right on!! im considered using the intercos that have almost a ribbed construction but ive heard both that boggers are good in sand up front as well.
Mud truck?
Yeah I would think if you don't have anything spin the fronts you wouldn't want all that tread.
