Easy job to do, the small bearing 28 spline isn't terrible. Worst comes to worst, bring it to a speed/machine shop and have them weld torino or big bearing ends on.

If you don't mind the fab work, a ford 9 inch out of a bronco is relatively cheap and strong as hell. Lots of aftermarket support and not hard to convert to disk brakes

I would also recommend the external slave conversion, it's worth it knowing you don't have to drop the trans. If you have a failure -
Diesel (TDi) conversion discussion & research

Using the older style dash should be easy just wire up the gauges to sensors, if converting to the new style dash is where I would expect there to be some issues. As far as the tach goes I think people tap into the injector wiring and use the injector pulses like ignition pulses to get a tach signal. -
Being easier is just a bonus to the 96 swap, I have no problem doing the extra work for the 97+ I just prefer the way the old style dash looks. As far as parts go there's more than a few 96s around me same for 97s that are all pretty cheap.

Are the 97+ cheaper to replace than the 96? I didn't even think about getting power windows with the swap

Well the diagnostic is kind of a given because of obd2, in my opinion at least. As far as power I'm not to worried about, at some point I'll be swapping to a different power plant, so no big concern there. Honestly not a fan of the newer style interior, other than the hvac setup. Dials and the non vacuum actuated blenddoor seem like an improvement over the older style. I was just curious to see any other benefits people had found

Sorry poor choice of words, I mean the whole swap. I'm starting to look into converting my truck to obd2, and trying to find some of the benefits of using the 97+ over the 96.
