I like the Idea of 2wd 4Hi n 4Lo but would Rather

You could add the BW4406 electric shift transfercase from an Expedition.
It would require losing your large gas tank and swapping in the smaller tank from a sport (2 door) model (to make room for the shift motor) and wiring up a suitable shift control module. From what I understand the shift motor can not be controlled by simply running a 12 volt source to it.

I have researched my previous answer, and I stand corrected. The transfercase from a V6 CAN be fitted to the transmission in a V8. It has been done on a 98 back in 2003. Heres the thread:

Also, If you are interested in doing the electric shift, read this thread by V8BoatBuilder.

You have to refer to both threads for wiring information.
