This is what I did. Easy enough, and it' has worked great so far.

Look for it under 200 series diesels, not 700.
When I replaced my D24 M46 with a gasser M46, I also found that the shifter linkage was at a different spot. Although the M46 I had might have been out of a 700 series, I don't know. Just be aware of where your shifter is lining up.
Good luck, D24T in 200's are my favorite.
