2.0 DOHC
2.0 Cosworth
2.8 MFI
2.8 EFI ( Rare )
2.9 EFI

Only mod needed on the engien is a swap to a 2WD Sump unless you fancy welding the ALI.

Gearbox will be useless as it combines the transfer box.

Rear drive train is fine.

Front hubs can have the outer CV removed, so they may be useable but the geometry on the 4x4 is a little different to the 2WD so they still may not fit.

Ok - options for the donor are increasing - another question (to increase possibility of donor at good price) -does the P100 pickup have the same running gear ?

Cheers for all the replies so far - appreciated guys.

It has a solid rear axle so no independant diff or hub carriers, and the front uprights would be 5 stud. So only the engine and box are likly to be of use ( if it's petrol )

Picking up on the sierra 4x4 thread. Has anyone ever done a 4x4 build, and what would it be like

There's been a couple of locosts.

I had thought about it but the transfer shaft on the gearbox would encroach badly into the drivers footwell. Fine if it's LHD mind.

Front geometry is a little different on the 4x4 too.
