2WDs have better bodies and frames? Cured the same? What the hell are you talking about?

Anyways, the motor will fit. But the front of the frame is built for IFS. So, the front axle isn't going to fit.

opps spelled some words wrong. and worded it wrong.

so you couldnt do like a frame swap with the 4wd and the 2wd frames.

You could, but you'd have to SAS the 2wd frame. Otherwise you'd be stuck with IFS and no 4wd.

2wd's frames are also not the same dimentions (in this paticular vintage) as the 4WD's . not a good choice in my opinion
