    Hi All,

    Unsure if this is a Of course it will, or a Don't be stupid, of course not kinda Question, but..

    Will a Chassis from a 2.4 Diesel 4Runner be a straight swap for a 3.0 V6 4 Runner..? Engine Mount differences..? Gearbox Mount differences etc.?

    I would imagine that the motor mounts and possibly gearbox mounts would be different. Other than that, have no clue. Sorry.

    Seems like there are no troublesome differences, as yet discovered, between Chassis.. I sourced a Surf Chassis [presumably Diesel] and am in the process of transplanting/rebuilding with new Parts to the new Platform..
