Default transfer case and drive shaft issue

I am currently putting a 4.3 and auto tranny out of a 99 blazer into my 95 GEO TRACKER. The transfer case on the tranny(I guess its a 4l60e) is made for a driver side front driveshaft but the Geo front axle is made for a passenger side front drive shaft. What is the easiest fix? Get a new t-case or what. One garage told me I could flip the t-case but doesn't it have vents and stuff?? Doubt that'd work. Anyone got any ideas?

Swap a solid front axle in.

Or, I think there are adapters that will let you use the 4.3 with your stock transmission & t-case. Then it's all in the right place.

Go check out suzukiconversion dot com and see how they are doing it.

Ill check that out!!! Is there a possibility that I can flip the front axel??? I understand it would pull backwards if the drive shaft spins the same direction but maybe there is a chance it spins opposite direction....just pondering ideas. Trying to do this as cheap as possible but not rigging it. The stock transmission in the Geo is pretty poor condition that's why I wanna use the 4l60

I think they have parts to use a Dana 300 (jeep) transfer case with the 700R4 (same as 4L60E). Then the front shaft is on the correct side. I think that's probably the easiest way to go.
