Hey guys.
I have a Nissan 88 SWB GQ Patrol which has a tb42 carby in it and an auto box which never gets used and im thinking of doing a engine and box swap from my 90 ford maverick SWB because it has a fair bit more rust and the GQ is alot cleaner. The maverick is a turbo-diesel manual with the silver top TD42. I was just wondering if all the mounts and stuff are the same and if the chassis are the same too? If i end up doing it i think i will pull everything apart in the GQ and put new suspension in it before i put the motor and box in. One of the main reasons i want to do the swap is because in the maverick the gutters have rusted out a fair bit and the front left passenger roof rack where it is mounted has a big crack in the gutter so i cant put anything heavy on the roof!
Any ideas welcome :)
Thanks guys!
