Right chaps, bit of a dilemma

Ive secured the purchase of a Cologne 2.8i with full running gear and ancilleries, only problem is, its off of an XR4X4

now Ive been told its not too much of a problem, just remove half shafts, change sump, pickup & flywheel and it should all drop together....but Ive just been chatting with a guy who breaks and sells XR4i's and XR4X4's and he doesnt think that its possible to mate the Type 9 4X4 gearbox up on a RWD car

Anyone have the appropriate info?

Best thing is to get a nackered standard 2.8 and gearbox.
And then swap the bits you need.

what's up the the engine etc you got with the car.

no such thing old pal, I got a chassis and a body...ohh and some wheels too biggrin


Apparently aslong as you change the sump out and oil pickup for a RWD version, you can drop the diff and shafts and hey presto...one RWD V6


Although someone has just started me back thinking what it would take to make a AWD Tasmin rofl
