Hi mate, do you know if the 2.4 bodyshell can be swapped to a 3ltr!
Will the engine bay and mounts etc be the same!

Thanks

I 'think' the bulkhead is slightly different, where the heater matrix pipes go, but only read it, not sure.

Obviously you need the swap all the engine and dash wiring too, but its not that much different in the actual bodyshell.

Don't know about the engine mounts on the chassis, can't see why they'd be different, but you're not changing the chassis, just the body?

But never done it.

Thanks mate!

I'm 99% sure the engine mounts are in a different position.

As Im looking to put the 2.4 body onto a fully rolling 3.0 chassis would the engine mounts be an issue?

I see the problem they had on the aussie site was putting a 3.0 lump into a 2.4 chassis which shouldnt cause any problems this time. If anything it may mean a slightly different inner arch design on the 2.4 but hopefully as I have a 2 inch body lift it shouldnt foul anywhere.
